'Their Eyes were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston is a story of a black girl named Janie and her lifetime experiences in realistic situations that are always prone to reflect problems for each one of us.
Explanation:
Hurston starts off the story with a description of how Janie lived with her grandmother until late teens and her ideas, personality and choices are very much based on this essence in her life. Janie being pointed out as a black in a photograph that she clicked with a group of white children makes her feel insecure, less confident and crucial with herself in her twenties.
In relationships, Janie starts to take decisions in a completely unconscious and emotional driven manner leading to sadness and grief later.
After Logan and Jody, Janie married Tea Cake despite knowing his unreasonable, unnecessary acts and habits. His selfishness, jealousy are all accepted by Janie though she suffers because of the same. Later in the story, his sacrifice to save her and dying in front of her, tells readers the main reason for us to understand that he is the right choice that Janie made better than Logan and Jody.
An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.
The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.
To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.
And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.
In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res

Answer: <em>The sentence features literal language in the form of metaphor</em>
Answer:
All flights were cancelled because of fog.
Explanation:
The sentence provided in the question, " They cancelled all the flights because of 
." is in the 
as the subject 
does an action 
against object 
We have to change this active voice of the sentence into a passive voice sentence.
While changing a sentence from active to passive, the object of the active voice becomes the subject of the passive voice and the verb in the sentence changes to passive form from active form.
Therefore, the passive voice of the sentence would be :
"All flights were cancelled because of fog."
