3. would be/knew how

The first blank must be future tense because the word after it ends in -ing

The second blank must be ____ how, and it must be past tense, so knew how. She knows <em><u /></em><em>why </em>the business would be started, to provide a great public service, but not <em>how</em>.

What is the most likely meaning of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework;  it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.

A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."

An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.

Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.

I need help writing a 10 line metaphor poem about how life is like a rainstorm. PLEASE HELP!!
garik1379 [7]

Life is like a rainstorm,

sometimes it may lightly sprinkle down

or it can be   a raging storm, and it may feel as if you could drown.

But, eventually, the sun will come around

and you will no longer have a reason to  frown.
