Here we can observe that the verb used doesn't reflect the correct tense to express when this action took/is taking/will take place. There are many tenses where you could choose from, depending of the time of action:
Tenses: Simple, Progressive, Perfect, Perfect progressive
Times: Past, Present, and Future
Imagine all the combinations!
The simplest example we could make is if this action is a routine that happens continuously, the action verb (invite) is changed to simple present for the third person of singular (invites):
<span>Tommy, in an effort to maintain clowning's positive roots, invites dancers to weekly performance battles.</span>
A hunter would protect himself from the bear by using a high powered rifle and a tree stand. The bear would protect itself from the hunter by climbing said tree and killing the hunter.
The c is silent because s would sound like slither, and c would sound like cold.
Answer:
C. Her lips were as red as roses in the spring.
Explanation: Figurative language is phrasing that goes beyond the literal meaning of words to get a message or point across. Clearly, her lips were not red roses, but the author uses figurative language to bring an image into the mind of the reader. Hope this helps!
