c. to exaggerate

Hyperbole is used to exaggerate a thought or idea. It often makes the tone humorous or overly dramatic. It's important to be careful when using hyperbole in writing because it can also make the speaker seem unreliable since a hyperbole is not a complete truth. A few examples of everyday hyperboles are: My homework is going to take forever. I'm so hungry, I could eat a cow. I'm so embarrassed, I could die.

We were pleased to read about _____ winning a place on the ticket hat time will plane arrive in Chicago?
Paul [167]

Options are she or her.

We were please to read about her winning...

In this case, we need to use "her." "She" and "her" are both gender specific pronouns. However, "she" is a subjective pronoun. This means that it can replace a noun in a sentence. "Her" is a possessive noun and can function as the possessive of "she" or the object of a verb and preposition. In this sentence we need to use "her" because she possesss the place on the ticket.

Read the excerpts from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry," and "Speaking Arabic."
defon

Answer:

O Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis, while Nye structures her excerpt as an observation.

Explanation:

In the first excerpt, Rudolfo Anaya presents a case of his friend who decided to 'remove' his heritage, his Latin background just to get accepted for a scholarship. And in this act, Anaya observes that his friend <em>"took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality . . . took the soul out of his poetry." </em>This shows his analysis of what he saw and thinks is happening, giving his opinion.

On the other hand, Naomi Shihab Nye structures "Speaking Arabic" as an observation of what she saw. She describes the young man's declaration of wanting a heritage among the <em>"tall America trees"</em> while in a Texas fair in between the <em>"German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth".</em> The excerpt is an observation of what she saw at that time and place.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is that Anaya structures his excerpt as an analysis while Nye's is an observation. </u>

After he was caught lying on the stand, the discredited witness left the courtroom in humiliation. what does discredited mean? h
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

having a damaged reputation

Explanation:

discredited means to lose your respectability.

Using context clues, why would the witness have left the courtroom in humiliation? It can't be because they have good judgment or that they were honorable. That leaves "sorrowful" and "having a damaged reputation." Having a damaged reputation is more tied to humiliation, but if you didn't pick up on that, credited means of respect and the opposite most closely means having a damaged rep.
