All we Karamazovs are such insects, and... that insect lives in you, too. (from The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky) [Metaphor]

A metaphor is a hidden comparison between two things which possess at least any one idea common to each other. The things may be completely different from each other but would have either one characteristic in common to them.

Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything, from nothing first create, O heavy lightness! Serious vanity! (from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare) [Apostrophe]

In a sentence, when a speaker breaks off from pointing one party and instead points the third, the literary device used is said to be an Apostrophe.

I was quaking from head to foot, and could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far. (from Old Times on the Mississippi by Mark Twain) [Hyperbole]

Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement which is not meant to be taken literally. They add comic relief in the sentence. Hyperbole is not a comparison as in metaphor or simile but an overstatement which is not to be taken in literal sense.

user100 [1]

Answer:

b. Interpreting

Explanation:

A play can be defined as a literary work that presents the dialogue between characters, as well as portrayal of fictional and non-fictional events in a theatre. A plot simply describes the order of events in a literary work such as a play.

In this scenario, Kristin is reading Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for class while taking note of the setting, especially the mountains.

Consequently, Kristin thinks about how mountains are set apart from the rest of society and begins to think about what impact this has on the literary work itself. Thus, we can safely deduce and conclude that Kristin is interpreting the book.

Analyzing a Conclusion
LenKa [72]

<u>Answer</u>:

The sentence that would improve this conclusion is - Organizing safety classes for drivers and cyclists  will ensure that everyone knows the rules. The right option is <u>Option B.</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

While analysing the conclusion of this excerpt, this option seems to be the best. In the end of the passage it is said that sharing the road can be tricky, but there are things that can be done. One option is given which is the organisation of safety classes for drivers and cyclists. If any country or town, opts for this then there would be less chaos on roads and seeing others people following the rules and regulations will bring about road safety and ensure the safety of drivers and cyclists.
