“Spring is like a perhaps hand” uses personification and simile. Simile compares two things with the use of “like” or “as”; while personification gives human attributes to inanimate objects. In poem's title the simile can be expressed as "spring is like a hand;" while the personification is giving spring a “hand” which is a part of the human body that is able to move or arrange things.

Can someone help me write a ESSAY please <3 :(

Answer:

The Raise the Wage Act of 2021 would help eliminate poverty-level wages by raising the national minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2025. This report finds that the raise is long overdue and would deliver broad benefits to workers and the economy.

The current federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour and has not been raised in over 10 years. A full-time federal minimum wage worker today earns 18% less than what her counterpart earned at the time of the last increase, after adjusting for rising costs of living ($15,080 annually in 2021 versus $18,458 in 2009).

In 1968, a minimum wage worker earned $10.59 per hour in inflation-adjusted terms, 46% more than today’s $7.25 federal minimum wage. The minimum wage today would be over $22 per hour had it tracked productivity increases over the last five decades.

The Raise the Wage Act of 2021, which phases in a $15 minimum wage by 2025, would raise the earnings of 32 million workers, or 21% of the workforce. Affected workers include those who would see their wages rise as the new minimum wage rate exceeds their current hourly pay and those who have a wage rate just above the new minimum wage who would receive a raise as employer pay scales are adjusted upward to reflect the new minimum wage.

$15 minimum wage by 2025 would raise the wages of at least 19 million essential and front-line workers. Essential and front-line workers constitute more than 60% of all workers who would see a pay increase.

Pavel [41]

The option that uses transitions effectively is:
"You'll see the leaves flush with their full golds, reds, and oranges. Similarly, nuts and berries begin to turn deeper brown or red, depending on the type."(Option A)

<h3>What is a transition?</h3>

In literature, the key purpose of transitions is that they help to connect ideas to each other.

Transitions can occur in a paragraph or between two paragraphs. Examples of expressions that aid transitions are:

Likewise
Similarly
However
Nevertheless etc.

In the example above, the word "similarly" is the transition word.

Which of these is a modern genre based in folklore?

wariber [46]

Answer:

b)parable

Explanation:

The parable is an allegorical narration based on folklore, which uses situations and people to compare fiction with reality and through this comparison convey a lesson of wisdom (the moral of the story).

The parable conveys an ethical lesson through a metaphorical prose, a symbolic language and differs from the fable because it is carried out by human beings.
