It is formed from the word "collapse". This root word comes from the Latin collāpsus, "fallen together".

Collapsible is formed from the verb collapse, which comes from the Latin collāpsus, "fallen together." This makes sense, since something that is collapsible "falls" into a tighter, more compact size or shape. Of course, anything that is able to fall can be considered collapsible, but the word refers more to something that is intentionally made to fall, rather than something like a rickety building that might collapse.

Make a hyperbole related to thanksgiving.

slava [35]

Hi there!
Thank you for posting your question on Brainly!

So, to put it simply, a hyperbole is a statement, but it’s not supposed to be taken literal. It’s an exaggeration. And you want one for thanksgiving... so it could be something like:

“The thanksgiving feast at my house was so big, it could’ve fed an army.”

Now we know that this person didn’t have enough food at that feast to feed an actual army, but from this hyperbole, we know that there was a lot of food at this feast.

Have a nice night and please contact me with any questions!
