Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

This sentence is comparing the public to pigs without using words like "as" or "like", which would make it a simile, most likely. In this case, since there's no such use of the mentioned words, this fits into the definition of a metaphor:

"a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable."

Answer:

Explanation:

have – there are two people, so it is plural
are – it refers to a cousin and the narrator, so plural
are – Meeta is singular, but sisters are plural, therefore answer must be used for plural noun
was – even though the jury is consisting of the more than one person, they are treated as the singular group
by the rules, both are or is can be used, however, are sounds more natural with the plural noun "books"
was – it refers to the name of the book which is The Midnight's Children not the nook itself, so it is singular
was – it refers to the quality which is singular, not the sarees
is – it refers to the size, a singular, not the curtains
is – it refers to the sum, which is a singular noun
was – each of the candidates is singular
have – Mohit and the friends are plural number of people
is – it refers to the distance, which is a singular noun
was – a women is a singular
This one is not the full question, the full one should be "Neither the teacher nor his students (is/are) in the class" The answer is are because it refers to the plural number of people with teacher and the students
was – it refers to only one person, as it says "one of the boys", therefore it is singular
