Answer: appositive
Explanation:
An appositive is a noun phrase whereby one noun or in some other cases a pronoun is used, then there'll be another word that'll be used to clarify the noun or pronoun.
In thus case, the noun is "Dr. Benton Jones" while "a winner of the Nobel Prize for his chemistry theories" is clarifying Dr Benton Jones.
Therefore, this is an example of appositive.
Answer:
A pronoun is a word used in the place of a noun.
Explanation:
A pronoun (I, me, he, she, herself, you, it, that, they, each, few, many, who, whoever, whose, someone, everybody, etc.) is a word that takes the place of a noun.
Example sentence: Joe saw Jill, and he waved at her. The pronouns <em>he </em>and <em>her </em>take the place of <u>Joe </u>and <u>Jill</u>, respectively.
The correct answer is Metaphor
Explanation:
In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.
Answer:
D) The unnamed passenger is courageous
Explanation:
"The Hunting of the Snark" (1876) is a poem by Lewis Carroll (also the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"). The poem is fantastic epic tale of nine tradesmen and a beaver of their adventure to hunt an imaginary creature "snark" which according to the poem may become very dangerous called as Boojum.
Options B and C are not correct because the Bellman (the leader) is describing the qualities of an unnamed passenger who forgets things easily and has even forgot his own name. But bellman tells that what is most important is the fact that he has courage, that is the most important thing for hunting a snark.
Option A is not correct because the line is about courage and not about skill. Moreover the unnamed man is a tradesman or a passenger and not a fighter.
