Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to one thing by mentioning another one. It allows an author to provide clarity by identifying similarities between two different ideas. In this case, the author is trying to compare the attitude of the biographer to the idea of postrating yourself before the mystery of a millionare. By using this phrase, the author wants to convey the obsession and fascination that the biographer felt for Vanderbilt.

1. Which of the following is not an example of narrative writing?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The instructions for assembling a model car .

Explanation:

Narrative writing is the form or style of writing that involves telling a story, a structure, a plot, conflict, characters, dialogues, etc. In simple words, it is a story where there are characters and there is a storyline.

Among the options given, "instructions for assembling a model car" is not an example of narrative writing. This is because it does not contain a storyline, plot, or characters nor does it involve any conflict. Rather, it provides instruction on how to successfully assemble a model car, more like a fact of the matter lists for a process rather than tell a story.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

"Forgetfulness" by Billy Collins. Then answer the question.
Ksju [112]

The correct answer is B. it does not follow a formal structure.

Let us first go through all of these options in order to determine the structural characteristics of <em>Forgetfulness, </em>by Billy Collins.

Option A is incorrect - if you count the syllables in each line, you will see that the first one has 11, the second one 13, and so on - so, not 10.

Option C is also incorrect - there are actually 8 stanzas, and they are not of equal length.

Option D is also incorrect - there are no rhymes in this poem.

So, by the process of elimination, the correct answer is B - this poem doesn't follow a formal structure - it is rather a free verse poem containing stanzas of varying lengths.
