The poetic device this sentence is using is metaphor.
Metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech which you use when you want to compare two or more things, without using words such as like or as. So, her irritation wasn't really an anthill overflowing with ants, but rather similar to it, but the author wanted to use a symbolic way to portray this comparison.

Underline the subject and encircle the predicate. 1.Red , white and blue are the colours of the flag.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The subjects are: red, white and blue.

The predicate is: are the colors of the flag.

Explanation:

To find the subject of a sentence, you must first find the verb of the sentence, because the subject is the term that is promoting the action that the verb is referring to. As you may already know, the verb is the word that determines an action that is being performed. In the sentence shown in the question above, the verb is the word "are." In this case, the subject is the words that are performing the action of that verb, which are the words "red, blue and white."

The predicate. it is everything that is being said about the subject of the sentence. In this case, the predicate is "are the colors of the flag."

As the title indicates the author of “cell phones for safety “ argues that students are safer with cell phones; therefore the sc
GuDViN [60]

I do not agree with the statement "the school ‘s current policy should be changed to allow students to carry them".

Students should use cell phones for :

i. additional learning outside their school curriculum,

ii. developing skills via watching tutorials on online etc,

iii. developing research skills by finding relevant information.

However, hardly few students use cell phones appropriately.The major chunk of students use mobiles in wrong ways, like, watching bad content, playing online games, passing time on social media. All such things decrease the productivity of the students & fill their mind with lot of un-necessary content.

Hence, I strongly feel, cell-phones should be banned in school. Also, their usage should be restricted at homes too.
