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.

laiz [17]

Answer:

The answer would be C) swimmed.

Explanation:

If you put each answer into the sentence, you can see if it does or doesn't make sense. Ex:

Lets try A first:

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swammed </u>in  the outdoor pool.

Although saying "swammed" might be fun, this does not make sense, therefore the answer cannot be A.

Lets try B next!

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swum </u>in  the outdoor pool.

Again, this might be fun to say and all, but this does not make sense, so we should try C next.

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swimmed </u>in  the outdoor pool.

This one makes sense and works! We should still try the last answer, D, though (you never know!)

At the motel, we used the exercise room and <u>swam </u>in  the outdoor pool.

At first glance, this may seem correct, but if you say this out loud, it doesn't make sense. The answer must be C) swimmed.

Hope this helped! :)
