The simile used is "Momma's voice got strange, hissing like a snake."

This detailed simile, used when Wilona is enraged at Byron for playing with matches, underlines Wilona's rage.

The snake, in particular, is an animal associated with malice and wickedness, therefore comparing Wilona to a snake emphasizes how fed up she is with Byron and his pranks.

Only long after this do Daniel and Wilona resolve to take action against Byron once and for all.

<h3>What is a simile?</h3>

A simile is a device of speech that compares two things explicitly. Similes vary from other metaphors in that they highlight the similarities between two items by employing comparison terms like;

  • "like,"
  • "as,"
  • "so," or
  • "than,"

On the other hand, metaphors generate an implicit comparison.

How would a student justify inferring that “indigenous” means “originating in a particular region”?
fgiga [73]
Traditionally, indigenous comes from the Latin word indigena (indu/endo: in/within + gignere: to beget (to procreate or generate). But here we are simply looking at roots. The root words here are -gen (something produced, and by extension, birth) and -ous (possessing/full of), and that combination is not an option, it seems. HOWEVER, it is not uncommon for suffixes to have more than one meaning, and this is no exception. -ous also means 'having, full of, or characterized by', meaning your answer is the second option, 'the word root “gen” means “birth,” and the suffix “-ous” means “having the quality of something.”'

Read the extract below and correct the error in verb tense.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:he error is "We  also had a 20 metre pool."

Explanation: In grammar, tense is a category that expresses time reference with reference to the moment of speaking. Tenses are usually manifested by the use of specific forms of verbs, particularly in their conjugation patterns. In English, tenses include past, present and future. When writing we need to make sure that be consistent in the use of tense. In the given extract all the information is in present (we have, we run, etc) except for the phrase "We  also had a 20 metre pool" which is in past, it should be "We  also have a 20 metre pool."
