Select the correct text in the passage.
Luden [163]

Repetition: A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off.

Alliteration: Four hundred smokestacks stood in a row and tubs on tubs of sooty black soot marched out.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In literary work, repetition occurs when same words are being repeated. It simply means using the same phrase or word multiple times. The sentence 'A big wind blew up and blew and blew till all the tails of the animals blew off' uses repetition since it uses the word 'blew' one than once.

Alliteration on the other hand is a figure of speech where the same letter or sound occurs. It simply means the repetition of consonant sounds. The sentence 'Four hundred smokestacks stood in a row and tubs on tubs of sooty black soot marched out' makes use of alliteration where the words stood, sooty, and soot makes same consonant sound.

write argument for or against the topic it is more advantages to live in the village than in the city
fomenos

While village life has many advantages, including less noise, beautiful natural landscapes, less pollution, fresh air and less congestion, the statistics does not favor the village folks worldwide.Each year, millions of people migrate to urban centers in search of greener pastures. Even though most of them would have preferred to stay in the less stressful villages, they had to move to cities due to economic reasons. Here are reasons why city life is better than village life.

The first reason is transport. The cities generally have well-structured transport network systems that connect virtually all areas of the urban centers. The main modes of transport include road, rail and air. City dwellers therefore have various alternatives when it comes to transport. They may use personal vehicles or taxis on the roads, they may opt for trains to traverse across the outskirts of the city or they may hop into an airplane and go to other cities.There are also paved paths for walking and riding bicycles. On the flip side, villages have the worst transport systems. The main drive way may be well maintained, but other interlocking roads that penetrate through villages and farms are rarely tarmacked. These roads are impenetrable during the wet seasons when they become muddy.Then, there is better communication in the cities. Most communication companies have all their equipment installed in cities, because of the high population which assures them of good return on their investments. They rarely install communication transmitters in the villages, which makes the communication network in rural areas very poor. Village folks have to rely on strong communication boosters from the cities, which are rarely reliable. They therefore have to look for areas with network before they can communicate, which makes the whole process tiring and frustrating. In the cities, communication networks are virtually everywhere even in the poorest neighborhoods.Furthermore, the cities have security. Cities have police patrolling twenty four hours a day. Aside from that, there are CCTV cameras all over the city, which makes it easier to catch criminals and solve crimes. The 911 speed dial also assists in faster response rate from the police force, which is very essential during emergency cases. Due to low population density in the rural areas, the village folks are exposed to a lot of risks.

andre [41]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

Progress continued to be made in the years that followed.

Progress was blocked in the years that followed.

The findings were dismissed and research began again.

The findings were published and the research was ended.

Answer:

Progress continued to be made in the years that followed.

Explanation:

As we look at the facts presented in "The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone: I've Got It! I've Got It!" we can see that the interpretation of the hieroglyphics on the rosette stone was not something achieved overnight, but it was a long, slow process, the result of much study, research and perseverance, which progressed more and more as time passed. As the years passed, the more elements that facilitated the interpretation of the hieroglyphs were discovered. For this reason, we can say that the correct answer to your question is "Progress continued to be made in the years that followed."
