Some scientists look into outer space while others look elsewhere. Georg Steinhauser looked into his bellybutton and discovered what the lint found there contains and its possible purpose. Mostly made of fabric bits and dead skin, it is most likely used to keep germs and other things out.
Answer:
To offer a description of the snake
Explanation:
The adjectives “slippery” and “slimy” are alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, so in this case we have “slippery” and “slimy”, with the repetition of the “s” consonant sound. Therefore the alliteration “slippery, slimy” is describing the snake.
Answer:
A passage from a novel
Explanation:
An excerpt represents not just a quote but a complete passage from a book. It can be a few lines taken from a poem or a novel.
Mostly excerpts are used for complete understanding of a piece of writing. It is easier to critically evaluate a piece of writing when it is broken down into excerpts and then expanded on. It enhances the understanding of the reader.
For example teachers might give a single paragraph to their students and ask them to expand on them and judge their understanding through it.
Meaning it was to be founded as soon as possible, seeming as urgent means important/ a needing to be done fast.
