Answer:

C: hyperbole

Explanation:

 The underline phrase <em>'filthy Fredo'</em>  in the excerpt is an example of <em>hyperbole</em>  because the boys, being cruel, were exaggerating, in an attempt to ridicule him. It is not a comparison, so it's not metaphor nor simile. This figure of speech is found in everyday conversatons and in literature, used to stress a point. One example: <em>She said she had </em><em>a ton</em><em> of homework.</em>

The underlined words are a metaphor as they compare Fredo to a creature without using like or as.

1. 'Teen girls are often told, "If you just say 'no' you'll never have to worry
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:  A.  Teen girls who are in love with their boyfriends often run the risk of  unwanted pregnancy.

Explanation: A teen who is in love with their boyfriend and feel that they will be together forever will make them want to give sex a try and once you enter that stage, you won't want to stop because it is pleasure you are giving him and him giving you. This will most definitely cause a risk of an unwanted pregnancy because many may feel that that boy is their forever and won't want to use any kind of protection. Even if your boyfriend does wear protection (condom), it is not 100% that it will be effective, same thing with birth control for women. Sex is not wrong but should be waited on because there is no rush.

Simora [160]

Answer:

Meredith can hold the university responsible for this incident.

Explanation:

Meredith was making a peaceful petition, which is protected by the First Amendment. In addition, the First Amendment defends free speech, which means that Meredith can defend the recreational use of marijuana, without being impeded. However, Meredith was prevented from making her petition within the university campus and this infringed on her right, so she can hold the university responsible for it.

Olegator [25]
What tenets of realism are evident in Zitkala-Sa's “The School Days of an Indian Girl”?

Answer: I believe that the tenets of realism that are evident in Zitkala-Sa's “The School Days of an Indian Girl” are the struggles that Native Americans had to go through to "fit in" with the culture of the Europeans. At some point she revolts against at first, but begins to assimilate. Even after she assimilates herself she begins to find herself not belonging anywhere.

How does Zitkala-Sa's realistic representation of her experiences affect readers?

Answer: I believe that the way that Zitkala-Sa's realistic representation of her experiences affect the readers is in a way that they could empathize with the struggles that she had to go through because of the fact that her people's territory was completely overrun.

I hope it helps, Regards.
