Answer:

1. All we Karamazovs are such insects,  and. . .that insect lives in you, too.  

metaphor  

2. Why then, O brawling love, O loving hate,  O anything, from nothing first create,  O heavy lightness! Serious vanity!    

oxymoron  

3. I was quaking from head to foot,  and could have hung my hat on my  eyes, they stuck out so far.  

hyperbole  

Explanation:  

1. metaphor is an implied comparison; it is when you are saying that something is something else.  

"we Karamazovs are such insects". The speaker compares his family to insects by saying that they <em>are</em> insects.    

2. oxymoron is a combination of two words that seem to be contradictory.  

"loving hate" is an example of such a combination, and so is "heavy lightness."  "Serious vanity" and "brawling love" were also written with an oxymoron in mind.

3. hyperbole is exaggeration used for dramatic effect.  

"I was quaking from head to foot,  and could have hung my hat on my  eyes, they stuck out so far." The whole excerpt is an excellent example of a hyperbole because it is an obvious exaggeration.

Which possessive noun is written correctly in the sentences below?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

A. The baby's bottle was empty.

Explanation:

Possessive nouns are nouns used to show ownership, i.e. that something owns something else. In most cases, a possessive noun is formed by adding an apostrophe and <em>s </em>to the noun. If the noun is plural and already ends in <em>s</em>, only an apostrophe is added.

The sentence that contains a properly written possessive noun is sentence A. The bottle is owned by the baby. An apostrophe and<em> s</em> are properly added to this noun.

In sentence B, the apostrophe should be placed before <em>s</em> in <em>girls'. </em>If the noun was plural, it would've been correct, but it is singular.

In sentence C, there is no possessive noun.

In sentence D, the apostrophe should be placed before<em> s</em> in <em>mens'. Men </em>is the plural form of <em>man</em>, and the possessive form is <em>men's. </em>
