B. Context clues. All the other things can help you find the meaning of an unknown word, but the details of a sentence or paragraph is the context.
Answer:
Hyperbole
Explanation:
Hyperbole is a literary device used in speech to exaggerate words for added emphasis. Even though hyperbole, like simile and metaphor makes a comparison, it is always evident in the case of a hyperbole that there is an exaggeration of words.
This is the case in the question given. It is quite obvious that Okras do not have a resemblance to daggers, but by the speaker exaggerating the function of Okras to daggers, he was trying to stress the destructive powers of the Okras.
We need to understand who the witches are and what they represent overall to understand this scene better. Whenever the witches are shown in the play <em>Macbeth</em>, they are usually foreshadowing later events in the play. In the play, when the witches meet with Macbeth, they call him "Thane of Glamis," "Thane of Cawdor," and "king."
This scene is significant overall. Thane of Glamis is Macbeth's original title, so he anticipated being called that. However, he had not, at this point, received word of King Duncan's choice to name him Thane of Cawdor, so he is confused by this proclamation. He is also confused by being called king as they inform him he will one day be king.
It is during this scene that Macbeth is informed of his new title and he realizes that the witches have essentially told him his fortune. The timing of all this is very significant because it proves to Macbeth that what the witches tell him is true. Without this, it is unlikely that he would have believed the "prophecy" that they tell him of his future.
Answer: 1. “And yet he didn’t know where he came from, or how he’d gotten inside the dark lift, or who his parents were. He didn’t even know his last name. Images of people flashed across his mind, but there was no recognition, their faces replaced with haunted smears of color. He couldn’t think of one person he knew, or recall a single conversation” (Chapter 1, p. 2).
2. “His memory loss was strange. He mostly remembered the workings of the world—but emptied of specifics, faces, names. Like a book completely intact but missing one word in every dozen, making it a miserable and confusing read. He didn’t even know his age” (Chapter 3, p. 15).
3. “‘Listen to me, Greenbean.’ The boy wrinkled up his face, folded his arms. ‘I’ve seen you before. Something’s fishy about you showing up here, and I’m gonna find out what’” (Chapter 3, p. 17).
4. “‘I know you,’ Gally added without looking back. ‘I saw you in the Changing, and I’m gonna figure out who you are’” (Chapter 5, p. 32)
