B“She’s gone from sounding like the smoke detector”

A simile is a comparison between two things using like or as. In this simile the mother is talking about how her daughter played the saxophone. She is comparing the first sounds her daughter played to a smoke detector. When looking for similes, always look for the word like or as. Without one of these, there is no simile.

Which is the best behavior style to use in conflict situations

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Companies today are expanding the role of teams in the workplace in an effort to empower employees and improve organizational effectiveness. The more we try to work as a team, the more important it becomes to recognize that people exhibit different behavioral styles. I use the term “behavioral style”, purposely avoiding the terms “personality” or “attitude”, because unless we are psychiatrists or psychologists, we are not qualified to evaluate such things. All that we can see and deal with is a person’s behavior.

There are four major behavioral styles: analytical, amiable, driver and expressive. Please note that I am using an extreme simplification of each particular style. It is doubtful that all people of a particular behavioral style exhibit all of the characteristics portrayed.

which word has a similar denotation and connotation to the word curious? 1. inquisitive 2. intrusive 3. nosy 4. snoopy

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

1. Inquisitive

Explanation:

Denotation is the literal meaning of a word. Connotation is the figurative meaning of the word.

While curious can be viewed in a negative limelight, it generally means to be pensive or thoughtful. Answers 2, 3, and 4 are more aggressive with their meaning.

Think of it as the following, your sibling is intrusive and nosy, while an investigator is curious and inquisitive.

II. Directions: Read the sentences, then identify how the meaning of the underlined word is expressed. Write CIA for Contrast or

____ [38]

The underlined words in the sentences are identified thus;

1. My brother is an aficionado, a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity, subject, or pastime. (DIE: Definition or Explanation)

2. That's absolutely a ridiculous price for a sweater. I can't find any reason for it to become so expensive. (GC: General Clue)

3. Her traumatic experience made her a self-centered and callous young woman. She became hard-hearted and showed no sympathy for others. (RIS: Restatement or Synonym)

4. Liza imitated the house design of her neighbor but her husband changed it to add another window. (CIA: Contrast or Antonym)

5. His stalwart (marked by outstanding strength and vigor of body, mind, or spirit) son, applied to join the army. (PC: Punctuation Clue)

Reading the whole text can help in the identification of the context clue being used. In the first sentence, for example, the complex word, aficionado is quickly followed by a definition.

In the second sentence, a General clue is employed as we read the sentence to the end. The reader stresses by implication that ridiculous means expensive.

In the third sentence, self-centered and callous are restated to mean hard-hearted and being without sympathy.

The same logic can be applied to the contrast and punctuation clues.
