Consider what you already knew about

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Previously, I knew of Icarus as being the boy who got too greedy and flew towards the sun without thinking of the consequences. After, I believe he had good reason to. He had been trapped in Crete for so long, that he was so excited to see the world and all that was of it. Icarus is meant to teach people to be mindful of consequences before you perform any actions, even if it does seem like the best option in the moment. Don't let your greed override your logical side.

Rewrite the following as a Hyperbole or Understatement: Hannah rode her bike to school. She stowed it in the rack. She was late,

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Understatement version - "it's not that bad!"

Hannah rode her bike to school. She stowed it in the rack. She casually walked to homeroom. No way was she going to violate the hallway policy. When she got there she found that she was just a little bit late; the lunch bell rang.

Hyperbole version - exaggeration

Hannah peddled her bike as fast as she could to school, leaving trails of fire behind her. She stowed it in the rack. She was extremely late, so she ran to homeroom, a clear violation of hallway policy -- she could get expelled! When she got there she found that she was so much later than she had thought; the lunch bell rang. It was practically the end of the day!

Pavel [41]

Answer:

Direct.

Explanation:

Direct Communication as the title itself implies the communication style that involves straightaway stating of how the person thinks about a particular thing or how he feels at the moment. Such a communication doesn't include any kind of hidden, implied, or dissimulating message or notification. Such a communication comprehends the smooth flow or sharing of true thoughts that may involve revelation of the speaker's true intentions, desires, wants, or needs verbally and the flow is smoothly ensured due to the clarity it provides to the communicators. Thus, <u>'direct communication'</u> is the answer.
