Answer:
The verb in the sentence is:
a) transitive
Explanation:
A transitive verb exerts its action on an object, which means it can only express its meaning completely if that object is mentioned. In the sentence "Rings on the scales of some fish show the age of the fish," the verb is "show". To find the object, we have to ask the verb a question: the rings show what? They show the age of the fish. "the age of the fish" is the complete object of the verb "show". Therefore, the verb "show" is transitive.
Indefinite. This should be correct but let me know if I'm wrong
Answer:
C. Simile
Explanation:
The correct answer is <em>simile</em>.
Simile is a figure of speech that uses <em>"as"</em> and <em>"like" </em>to compare two things. It is used in comparing one thing with another thing that is of a different kind.
This tries to compare "<em>when friends can't be found"</em> to "<em>a bridge over troubled water". </em>Simile differs from metaphor because it compares two things directly by highlighting the similarities between those two things using "like" or "as".<em> </em>Metaphors actually create an implicit comparison.
