Answer:

The figurative language in this excerpt means: He had many arrows and let them all fall at his feet.

Explanation:

Figurative language is that by which a word expresses an idea using other terms, thus appealing to a similarity, be it real or imaginary. Figurative language opposes literal language, since it uses words with their true meaning, that is, it refers to things as they are.

In this case, the expression "He poured out his feet to the rain of arrows from the quiver" in a literally meaningful language would mean that it rained arrows, but as the phrase was written in figurative language it means "He had many arrows and let them all fall at his feet. "

Odysseus has just revealed himself to the suitors, and the pouring out of the arrows ‘like rain’ shows everyone there that he has ample ammunition - they are as many as drops of rain. It also forewarns the rapidity and ease with which the arrows will be dispatched.

Which part of this excerpt from President Barack Obama’s remarks on the Buffet rule uses the logical fallacy of false dilemma?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:The correct answer is the last part of the excerpt.

The part of the excerpt from President Obama’s remarks on the Buffet Rule that uses the logical fallacy of false dilemma is: “Either you’ve got to borrow more money to pay down a deeper deficit, or you’ve got to demand deeper sacrifices from the middle class, and you’ve got to cut investments that helps us grow as an economy.”

A fallacy of false dilemma is when an idea is falsely claimed to be a situation of “this or that”. When the idea is “this thing can happen or the other thing is going to happen”. But the truth is that there is another option that can be contemplated. Just like the case of Obama´s words.

The Buffet Rule was a tax plan of President Barak Obama in 2011, that wanted to make a fairer tax system.

N76 [4]

Answer:

In order to get Mahes, and people like him, to stop seeking out prison time, New York need to establish job opportunities in order to engage such people and/or charity organizations that can house these set of people and endeavour to assist them.

Explanation:

From the text "A Thief Dines Out, Hoping Later to Eat In" By Rick Bragg on The New York Times, we can infer that Mr. Mahes needed were he could eat well and sleep. So he felt that he could get it in the prison.

When Mr. Mahes came into New York City, he thought he was going to find milk and honey but he didn't. People tend to help and feed their own and neglected others

Mr. Mahes and other poor people like him can stay out of prison if there is adequate provisions like adequate job opportunities, free housing, workable charity organizations, etc., that can help them.
