English
2 answers:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  1. Personification
  2. metaphor
  3. hyperbole

Explanation:

The figurative language used in the sentence above are:

  1. Personification
  2. Metaphor
  3. Hyperbole.
  • Personification is the rhetorical device in which human qualities are personified to non-human things such as animals, objects, things, etc.

In the <u>first sentence</u>, wind, which is a non-human thing is attributed with the human quality of whispering. So, personification is used in the first sentence.

  • Metaphor is the figurative language that is used to compare two unlike things. This rhetorical device is used to state that a thing resembles the same idea as the other in some manner.

In the <u>second sentence</u>, two things are compared that is moon and balloon. The comparison is drawn to state that just like a balloon keeps rising in the sky, floating, the moon resembles the same quality like balloon.

  • Hyperbole is the rhetorical device that is used to state a point exaggeratedly. The word hyperbole is derived from the Greek word which means 'excess.' So, it is used to make a point in an extremely exaggerated way.

In the <u>third sentence</u>, the speaker is making a point of how badly he wants to play the new game. He exaggeratedly makes this point by stating that he will die if he didn't get to play that new game.

So, the correct answers are personification, metaphor and hyperbole.

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.

After flying across the Atlantic as a passenger in 1928, Amelia Earhart's next goal was to achieve a transatlantic crossing alon
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The best source to learn more about the geography would be Option B) A detailed atlas of the Pacific Ocean and its islands.

Explanation:

The disappearance of Amelia Earhart and her plane has always been shrouded in mystery. It seems that poor preparation and poor visibility may have led to Amelia Earhart and Noonan running out of fuel about 100 miles off the coast of Howland Island where they were heading. Her last radio transmission was picked up at 7:42 AM on July 2, 1937: "We must be on you, but we cannot see you. Fuel is running low. Been unable to reach you by radio. We are flying at 1,000 feet."  Another possibility is that they became plane wrecked on the Nikumaroro reef about 350 miles from Howland Island. Several excursions to the reef have turned up items suggesting someone was on the island like improvised tools and bits of clothing. There was even a bit of Plexiglas that could be from the window. The atlas would help to know the geography of this region.
