Calpurnia was something else again. She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was wide as a bed

slat and twice as hard. She was always ordering me out of the kitchen, asking me why I couldn't behave as well as Jem when she knew he was older, and calling me home when I wasn't ready to come. Our battles were epic and one-sided. Calpurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side. She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her tyrannical presence as long as I could remember. Pick three uses of figurative language in the excerpt above and explain what they mean and how they affect the reader's impression of Calpurnia. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

The writer of the excerpt above used Metaphor, Hyperbole and Idioms. The second sentence, "She was all bones and angles" is an Idiom which indicates that Calpurnia is thin with no curves. The second figurative language used is Metaphor in which the narrator referred to Calpurnia as a "tyrant" which shows that Calpurnia is bossy towards the narrator. The third figurative languange used is Hyperbole, where the narrator exaggerated her relationship with Calpurnia as "a one-sided epic battle".

photoshop1234 [79]

When they finally arrive at Gleiwitz, they are crowded into barracks, and Eliezer feels like he is going to be suffocated by the mass of people lying on top of him. People are crushing each other to death because it is so crowded, and Eliezer suddenly finds himself on top of Juliek, a boy who played the violin in the band at Buna. Eliezer is glad that Juliek is still alive and shocked to discover that he brought his violin with him. Then Eliezer begins to be suffocated by a man on top of him and has to fight his way out to get some air. He calls to his father, who is also still alive. That night Juliek miraculously extricates himself from the tangle of bodies and begins to play Beethoven soulfully on his violin. The music is so pure amidst the silence of the night, and Juliek puts his whole self and being into his music, which is only heard by an audience of dead and dying men.

Answer:

D: There are a number of reasons why the birthrate in Japan is falling.

Explanation:

Looking at the three points given, we can see that there is a trend.

In the first point, we learn that Japanese women are not marrying due to the traditional idea that marriage is more diplomatic than it is romantic, and we can infer that this will lead to a decline in the number of families started.

The second point is pretty cut and dry; raising a child is expensive, and that may seem unattractive to young people who'd otherwise be the ideal candidates to start a family.

The third point strengthens the message by pointing out that even if a family could afford to have children, it wouldn't be a very enjoyable experience. It can be inferred that the stresses of having a child discourage married couples in Japan from having multiple children.

All of these points together support answer choice D, as it is the only statement supported by all three points without any other outside information.
