"First, the plesiosaur is an air breather." is the line from the article that best disproves the plesiosaur theory. In the article, the author argues that because plesiosaurs were air breathers, they would need to come up for air more frequently than any sightings ever occur. As there are so few "sightings" every year and supposedly fewer now than ever, it is unlikely that Nessie is a plesiosaur.

Ganezh [65]

<em>The type of figurative language  represented by the use of the word Selma in the provided stanza is allusion. </em>

<em>Allusion </em>is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance, in this particular case  the 1965 civil rights march from Selma, Alabama, in which nonviolent protestors were attacked by police.  Allusions are just passing comments about which the writer expects the reader to possess enough knowledge to noticeits importance in a text.

<em>The use of such figurative language affects the last line of this particular stanza by providung a description</em>. Even though the descriptions referred to persons or things in allusions are not fully detailed, its use enables writers or poets to simplify complex ideas and emotions.

Draw Conclusions How does the motif of wishing apply to each of the story’s major characters: Yoni, Sergei, and the goldfish? Wh
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

<h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the sale of his video footage. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for Yoni was through the magic goldfish. </h3><h3>The motif of wishing for the goldfish was through the final wish. </h3>

Explanation:  

In the story "What, Of this Goldfish, Would you wish?", the motif of wishing for Yoni was through his innocent yet ambitious dream of selling his video footage to companies. "With a little decent footage, he was sure he’d be able to sell it to Channel 8 or  Discovery in a flash,".

For Sergei, the motif of wishing was through the magic goldfish. Through this line ‘‘I’m a magic fish. I’m fluent in everything:”, we can see that the goldfish had the magic to grant Sergei with wishes.

The motif of wishing for the goldfish was that once he granted three wishes to Sergei, he would have his freedom. The lines "After the last wish, Sergei won’t have a choice. He’ll have to let the goldfish go. His magic goldfish. His friend."

There is no similarity in the wishes of these three characters. Yoni wanted success and wealth, Sergei wanted companionship and someone to talk to and the goldfish wanted freedom.
