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.

I know this isn't English but help?
pogonyaev
I'm going to use x as the missing/unknown number here. You know that the answer is, at most, 30. You also know that a product of something means multiplication. So, something times five is, at most, 30.
This would be written as: 5x<span>≤30, as the answer is equal to 30, or less than that.

If you'd like to solve for x, you divide both sides by 5:
x</span><span>≤6
The sign does NOT flip, the number that was divided to get x alone was not a negative, so no sign-flipping is needed.</span>
