This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Which of the following statements is the inverse of "If you do not understand geometry, then you do not know how to reason deductively."?
A. If you reason deductively, then you understand geometry.
B. If you do not reason deductively, then you understand geometry.
C. If you understand geometry, then you reason deductively.
Answer:
The inverse of that statement is:
C. If you understand geometry, then you reason deductively.
Explanation:
To determine the inverse of a statement, we must negate both the hypothesis and the conclusion. In this case, the hypothesis is "if you do not understand geometry." It is already a negative sentence, which means its negation is "if you understand geometry." The same goes for the conclusion "then you do not know how to reason deductively." Its negation is "then you [know how to ] reason deductively." Putting them together, we have "If you understand geometry, then you reason deductively." - letter C
Answer:
The sentence which uses figurative language to make its point is:
If all of the stories were strung together, they would form a chain as long as the highway on which the Dust Bowl migrants traveled.
Explanation:
Figurative language consists in using words in a way that gives them meanings beyond the one(s) they originally and literally have. The purpose is to convey a message, an opinion, a feeling, etc. in a more colorful, touching, or persuasive manner. Examples of figurative language are: metaphors, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, simile, etc.
<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the author uses figurative language by comparing the stories to a long chain. The purpose is to vividly represent how large the number of stories is. Of course, it is literally impossible to string stories together, but that is precisely what figurative language does. It creates a mental image that is often fantastic, but that efficiently conveys a sensation or idea.</u>
