Which type of figurative language is used in this sentence from George Orwell’s novel Keep the Aspidistra Flying?

English

slavikrds [6]3 years ago

The figurative language used is a metaphor. A flashback refers to a previous event and there's no indication of Orwell referring to any previous events in this sentence. An oxymoron is when contradictory words are used in a conjunction such as faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. The word usage in this sentence isn't contradictory as it flows well in this sentence. A euphemism is a nice way to say a bothering statement. The sentence isn't any sort of bad claim, so the option of a euphemism is out of the question. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". In this sentence, Orwell compares advertising to the rattling of a stick inside of a swill-bucket. This makes metaphor the correct answer. Hope this helped :))

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

A star can live for billions of years: Option A.

Explanation:

The given excerpt clearly indicates that a star can run out of hydrogen and energy only after millions or billions of years. Only then it collapses to a little ball with gravity. This means it would live till those millions or billions of years.

'Black hole' is a region in the space which has such strong gravitational force that it pulls every object that passes through it. Albert Einstein predicted that black star would exist if a dead star also had enough gravity. Hence, "option A" is the correct one.

What does Wollstonecraft dislike about the way women are educated?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

They weren't educated to be intellectuals, but to please women. Wollstonecraft says that too many women "exercise a short-lived tyranny" but end up "slaves". She felt that women should not be educated in isolation from men, but instead be taught the same things as men and should be afforded the same education.

Hope this helps!
