English

Arada [10]3 years ago

Answer:

1. Simile; 2. Metaphor; 3. Hyperbole; 4. Personification

Explanation:

A simile makes a comparison between two things and normally uses the word "as" or "like" to indicate the two things that are being compared. In the first sentence, the subject is being compared with a snake.

A metaphor is also a comparison but it is implicit and the things are not related but share some characteristics; in this case, the <em>early bird </em>characteristics could mean many things, such as not being able to stand for herself or her fragility, among many others.

Hyperbole is a device used to exaggerate things through the language; in the third sentence, the exaggeration comes when the speaker mentions how thirsty he is and the amount of water he could drink.

Personification gives objects characteristics of alive beings, specially humans. In the sentences, the subject (movies) cannot do the action "fly off" unless it is through personification.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

This story is an important part of both Greek and Roman mythology because it is a story that connects the two cultures. I think that this story could be adapted for our current culture because it addressed issues that are still prominent in our society today. I would create a contemporary version of “Proserpine” featuring an alcoholic (Pluto) a young woman walking home from work at night (Proserpine) and an old lady who witnessed the kidnapping (Hecate).

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Blank 1: Mechanical

Blank 2: teeth

Blank 3: Chemical

Blank 4: saliva

Explanation:

The above are correct.

Mechanical digestion refers to the physical break down of food particles by the teeth. This process involves grinding, breaking, masticating and tearing of food substances with the teeth. This is done in order to make the food substances smaller for chemical digestion.

The chemical digestion further breaks the smaller food particles into absorbable particles. This is carried out by some enzymes found in the saliva. These enzymes are secreted in the digestive tract and it then breaks the chemical bond holding food particles together.

Therefore, mechanical digestion is done by the teeth while chemical digestion is done by the saliva.
