Answer:

B. Hyperbole

Explanation:

The excerpt provided is a figurative language which makes use figures of speech to achieve impact, persuasion and emphasis.

Alliteration, Hyperbole, Metaphor and Simile as all examples of figures of speech.

  1. Alliteration: places a number of words with similar consonant sounds to occur next to each other in a series etc. For example: A big bully beats a baby boy.
  2. Hyperbole: exaggerates on ideas to emphasis a situation. For example:  She has been dying to get a new shoe.
  3. Metaphor: makes use of a hidden comparison between two different things, two things that have nothing  in common but at the same time share same characteristics. For example: The news was music to my ears.
  4. Simile: makes direct comparisons between two unrelated things, by using  the words "like" and "as". For example: She is as large as life.

The excerpt provided there is no comparison but an exaggeration of facts as ostriches are said to gobble their food

storchak [24]

Answer: B

Explanation:  The sentence that is correctly punctuated is: B. Two main causes of orchid death​ include: overwatering and​ overpotting; however, too much sun can also cause a problem. It is correct because because before a sentence connector such as However there must be a full stop or a semi-colon. This is the case in sentence B while the other sentences have a comma before however. Commas are not used before conjuncts.

What is the difference between a soliloquy and a monologue?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

soliloquy: talking to yourself

monologue : talking to others

Explanation:

A monologue is when there's more than one party involved, like two people talking to each other, but essentially all the talking is done by one person.  Imagine a parent scolding a child, and the child doesn't respond.  Or a comedian performing alone on stage in front of an audience.  There's only one person speaking... but to someone else.

A soliloquy also implies only one person talking... but it's mostly in cases where there's no other participant in the communication.  Like when you're talking to yourself.  So, there's only one person talking again, but not to any one else.
