Drag and drop each example of figurative language into the correct category.

English
1 answer:
pychu [463]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answers are

Metaphor: She's an encyclopedia; We're just old news; I'm spreading my wings.

Simile: It's hard as steel; He's crafty like a fox; I'm strong like a bull

Explanation:

Both Simile and Metaphor are rhetorical figures used to describe a person, animal, object, etc. by making a comparison. The key difference between these two figures is that in SImile explicit comparison words such as "like" or "as" are used, while in metaphor the comparison occurs directly. This means, in the sentences "It's hard as steel", "He's crafty like a fox" and " I'm strong like a bull" there is simile due to the use of like and as, while in the rest of the options there is a metaphor because comparison occurs directly.

What poetic device is used in these lines from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot?
ladessa [460]
<span>The correct answer is Imagery.

Eliot, differently to authors of his time, uses imagery quite often in his works. In these lines, he mentions arms, and perfume, with references to bracelets and hair, in order to refer to a group of women, who are reoccurring in the poem, while giving the reader a disconnected impression of them.  </span>

Which part of this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens hints that Oliver was not expected to live very long? It cannot
zhuklara [117]
This part of the excerpt seems to be correct as it reveals that the diet alone is responsible for his ninth birthday: "It had plenty of room to expand, thanks to the spare diet of the establishment; and perhaps to this circumstance may be attributed his having any ninth birth-day at all."
