In the line "the oversize nose, the hollow look", the speaker is using metaphors.

Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two objects that seem unrelated in order to intensify or exaggerate the quality of one of them in order to make a stronger effect on the reader.

When the speaker characterizes nose as "oversize", he gives it a characteristic which is normally used to describe clothes. As for the expression "hollow look", one may use the word "hollow" to speak about surfaces which are uneven, with curves, hollowed-out, so to say.

Thus, with the usage of these two metaphors, the speaker creates a more dramatic effect.

The House of the Seven Gables, an excerpt
ycow [4]
The best answer would be A.
The entire excerpt describes the speaker's admiration of the structure, not just of its physical beauty but the history that came with it. This first part of the excerpt details the "recent rust". It is old and a bit rundown, but still very familiar to the speaker. The last part describes how the speaker is trying hard to imagine what the great house looked like when it was newly built --"early shine".

Research question - Which is the largest prison in the united states?
inessss [21]

Answer: B. it requires only quick fact-checking for an answer.

This is an example of a weak research question because it only requires quick fact-checking in order to obtain the answer. The purpose of research is to contribute to the body of knowledge of a particular branch of study. When designing a research proposal, it is important to consider whether the answers that will be obtained will be a significant contribution to the area of study. Otherwise, it is likely that the research is not worth pursuing.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. I Ana had known the answer, she would have raised her hand.

2. Mr. Diaz would have been on time to work if he had taken the bus.

3. If Angela hadn't brought a jacket, Luis would have given her his coat.

4. Sofia would have bought a new cell phone if she had had enough money.

5. If Mrs. Garza had known how cold it was outside, she would have worn a coat.

6. If Adriana had realized how tired she was, she wouldn't have stayed out so late.

7. If Javier had checked his watch, he would have known how late it was.

8. If we had known how late the bus was going to be, we wouldn't have waited for it.

Explanation:

This question requires knowledge about the third conditional.

<u>The third conditional is used in English to express hypothetical situations in the past. In other words, we are imagining possibilities about something that has already happened.</u> For example, suppose you forgot to bring some money with you. Because of that, you weren't able to buy a jacket you saw that was on sale. You can imagine how things would have been: "If I had brought some money, I would have bought that jacket."

The structure of the third conditional is the following:

if + had (not) + past participle, would/could/might (not) + have + past participle

The if clause will not necessarily be the first one every time. Take a look at the examples below:

- She would have told you if she had known how important it was to you.

- If you had talked to me about it, we could have found a better way to do it.

- If Mario hadn't moved away, he and Dana would have gotten married.
