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.

Think of a time when you were extremely nervous to be in front of a group of people. Describe in detail what you did to cope wit
umka2103 [35]

I stood at the front of the class, ready to present my project. I awkwardly looked down, not liking the way everyone looked at me. When the teacher gave her signal, I turned towards the board behind me. It felt much better to talk this way; I didn't know whether eyes were on me or not. I could picture myself practicing my presentation in the mirrior this morning, nobody else in the room besides me. This was so much better than what I thought it would be like. Once done, everyone applauded as I sat down in my seat. For now on, I decided, I will picture myself alone rather than in front of a group of people when proposed with similar situations.

In The Donner Party, what did the Donner Party find stuck in the branches of a tree as they followed their map westward?
Naddik [55]
The correct answer is letter D: <span>a note from a traveler who had gone on the marked trail, telling them to take a different and safer route if they could.

The Donner Party was a group of American Pioneers who headed out to California and followed a different route by wagons. They ended up being stuck in the blizzard, resulting to the lost of their supplies and eventually into cannibalism. Along the trail they saw letters stuck in trees that they need to take a different and safer route in order for them to get where they are headed, but the group did not heed the message and still pursued their path which lead to their own demise.</span>
