I believe that the sentence uses a simile, because it uses the word "like" to compare the villain's face to that of a statue.
Are you able to give more detail on your question? So I can answer it please thank you!
A random sample is a subset of individuals that are randomly selected from a population of interest. Because researchers usually cannot obtain data from every single person in a group due to time, costs and other constraints, a smaller portion is randomly chosen to represent the entire group as a whole. The goal is to get a sample that is representative of the larger population.
I read Ted Chiang’s excerpt “EXHALATION” and the correct answer would be D, <u><em>“IT CREATES A FEELING OF HOPE AND PERSONAL REFLECTION”.</em></u> The whole excerpt is talking about life in a scientific way, it’s trying to make the reader to have a vision about some scientific facts about our organism.
The excerpt states 2 theories. The first one is about our memories and that the things that we forget are indeed gone forever and there is nothing we can do to have them back. And the second one is about contrasting reality vs science.
