The rhetorical device used in the passage is simile, since we have two things being compared with the use of the word "like", as explained below.

<h3>What is simile?</h3>

Simile is a type of figurative language often used as a rhetorical device. The purpose of a simile is to compare two different things so as to give one the qualities of the other. A simile will always rely on the use of words such as "like" or "as".

In the passage "Watching Genna dance is like watching snowflakes swirl in a breeze," two different actions are being compared. Notice that the word "like" is present, which makes the simile quite easy to identify. Perhaps what the speaker means is that Genna dances as beautifully as the snowflakes swirl in a breeze.

Read the following sentence: (The author writes about the United States thoughtfully.) How would you rewrite the sentence using
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

What the author writes about thoughtfully are the United States.

Explanation:

Noun clauses are dependent (also called subordinate) clauses that act as nouns. Accordingly, they can function as the subjects, direct and indirect objects, predicate nominatives, and objects of a preposition of sentences, just like nouns. They begin with words such as <em>how, that, what, whatever, when, where, whether, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, </em>and<em> why, </em>which makes them easier to recognize.

The given sentence can be rewritten by introducing a noun clause related to the object (the United States): <em>What the author writes about thoughtfully are the United States.</em>

IS THIS PARAGRAPH TO WORDY:
Fittoniya [83]

Hello!

I don't find the paragraph to be too wordy at all. I don't understand the entire context of the paragraph, only because I don't know the topic that it is written on. Despite this, I was still able to follow the meaning of the paragraph.

Something that I did notice is that you have one run-on sentence in your paragraph. You wrote "The only thing they solved was why Hope was in that picture, she photobombed a family picture, they gave her the printed version because they deleted the original and didn't want her in it, she cut the family out and wrote on the back, 'Don't go to the subway.'"

Instead, you could reword it into multiple different sentences to make the idea complete. I would recommend you turn this section into: "The only thing they solved was why Hope was in that picture. She photobombed a family picture and they gave her the printed version because they deleted the original one and didn't want her in it. She cut the family out and wrote on the back, 'Don't go to the subway.'"

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
