Hello. You did not underline any clause in the sentence above, which makes it impossible for this question to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
If the underlined clause is "tis going" it means that the speaker of the sentence is indicating that the clock is working.
If the underlined clause is "it strikes well and hearty" it means that the watch is working very well, vigorously and correctly. This is because the words used give the feeling of something that is healthy and that has vigor and disposition for any activity.
Answer:
to illustrate how much Alfonso cares about outward appearances
Explanation:
Soto most likely described Alfonso's attention to his bike and his teeth at the same time to show that he cared too much about outward appearances.
From the excerpt, Alfonso is described as balancing his bike on the handlebars and seat and cleaning the spokes with a sock and at the same time, he pressed a knuckle to his teeth until it tingled which shows that he cared about the appearance of his bike and teeth. Alfonso shows great attention to detail in both cases because he likely cares about his outward appearance.
Answer:
bystander effect avtive bystander
Answer:
C) Hard work and pride in one's work are more important than outward success.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from "The Dancer's Dream," the narrator describes how Lily felt before auditioning in front of people. Moreover, the passage reveals her determination, her acceptance, and her realization of what's more important.
When Lily realized that <em>"her dream had already come true. She was a ballerina dancing on a stage . . . doing what she loved and the people she loved the most were there to see it"</em>, she knows she's achieved her goal no matter what the outcome of the audition may be. To her, being able to dance on a stage in front of her parents and Miss Emilie is the only thing important, worthy of every practice and long hours she'd spent.
This passage expresses the <u>central claim that hard work and pride in one's work matters more than outward success that measures one's efforts</u>. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
Answer:
The figure of speech in "it is burning" is a hyperbole.
You can reword that sentence as "it is extremely hot outside."
Explanation:
A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express a feeling or an idea. For example, when you tell someone you have called them a million times, you are using a hyperbole. You haven't actually called them that many times, you just want them to know that you called a lot.
It is quite common for people to use hyperbole when talking of the weather. We say it is burning hot when we mean it is really hot; we say it is freezing cold when we mean it is very cold. It is not really burning or freezing, we just exaggerate it to make our point.
A way to reword "it is burning" is by removing the hyperbole: "It is extremely hot outside."
