This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:
All of the following are parallel in structure with “crying over the loss of my boyfriend” except __________.
A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon
B) texting all of my girl friends
C) eating all the ice cream in the freezer
D) listening to my collection of sad music
Answer:
The correct answer is option A) I felt so bad yesterday afternoon.
Explanation:
If you pay attention, all the options, including the example, contain verbs ending in<em> ing.
</em>
Option A does not have the same structure, therefore that is the option that does not fit with the rest.
Words ending in <em>ing </em>can be the following: gerunds, verbal nouns, present participles. In the case of the example we have the ending <em>ing</em> used as a gerund, where the verb is used as if it were a noun.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
The figurative language device used is the simile. This can be seen when Trevor claims that the relationship between him and Teddy was like a "house on fire."
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The simile is a figure of speech that allows an explicit comparison to be made between two elements.
- This type of comparison is always performed using the words "like" or "as."
- When Trevor talks about his relationship with Teddy, he states that "Teddy and I got along like a house on fire," allowing the simile to be noticed.
This question is about the book "Born a Crime."
