GREYUIT [131]2 years ago

We can actually deduce here that the excerpt from "Rikk-Tikki-Tavi" that is NOT an example of a simile is:  It is the hardest thing in the world to frighten a mongoose, because he is eaten up from nose to tall with curiosity.

<h3>What is simile?</h3>

Simile is actually known as the figure of speech or figurative language which is used to compare two thins with the use of "as" or "like". Simile is used to compare things that are dissimilar but similar in a way.

We see here that simile is different from metaphor. Metaphor is used to compare things too but doesn't make use of "as" or "like".

The selected answer above doesn't have "as" or "like" in its sentence whereas others have. That is why it is the excerpt that is NOT an example of a simile.

Lucifer
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Check below for the answer and explanation.

Explanation:

The author, in these two excerpts, describes the consequence of sin and disobedience to the creator. Lucifer and Adam utterly fell from grace and the positions of honor that they were despite the uniqueness that surrounded their existences. This is as a result of their acts of unfaithfulness and insubordination unto God.

In both excerpts, the author describes Lucifer and Adam as specially and uniquely made. Concerning Lucifer, he said, " ...O Lucifer, brightest of angels all". He describes Adam as "...made by God's own finger, And not begotten of man's unclean seed", "...and had power at need Over all Paradise".  

The author goes further to explain how great the punishments of their disobedience unto God were. Lucifer fell into hell and became Satan. "... yet he fell though sin Down into hell, and he is yet therein". He describes Lucifer's misery as perpetual, the one he will never escape from. "Now thou art Satan, and canst never win Out of thy miseries; how great thy fall!" Adam also fell from the position of high esteem that he was placed and was driven out of his beautiful abode, Eden. This is because he disobeyed the decree of the creator, similar to the act of Lucifer. " Than he None ever on earth stood higher, till his deed Drove him to labour, Hell and misery."
