<span>Some might correctly say that the prelude to summer is </span>spring. I have also heard much about it. So, you can count on my answer ;)
Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):
King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia." </em>
Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>
Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.
The answer is A. not long after
Example: Bob forgot to lock the door. Not long after a thief noticed the unlocked door and stole all of Bob's valuables.
Answer:
The answer is D.
Explanation:
Lateral is Latin term which means side. It is mostly used to describe sides of an object, so we can say for example side of the box, side of a car, side of a human body... Since -equi- mean <em>equal</em> and lateral means <em>side</em>, the correct answer is D, the object , or in this case a box whose sides are all equal.
Potentially confusing answer could be C (having more sides). As a synonym for this we would use another Latin prefix <em>multi-</em> which means <em>many </em>(multilateral)
