And then he perceived that, very slowly, the circular top of the cylinder was rotating on its body. It was such a gradual moveme

nt that he discovered it only through noticing that a black mark that had been near him five minutes ago was now at the other side of the circumference. Even then he scarcely understood what this indicated, until he heard a muffled grating sound and saw the black mark j*rk forward an inch or so. Then the thing came upon him in a flash. The cylinder was artificial—hollow—with an end that scr*wed out! Something within the cylinder was unscr*wing the top!

What type of figurative language does this show?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is oxymoron.

Explanation:

Oxymoron is a type of figurative language used when trying to illustrate a rhetoric point.

Here, it is obvious that Queen Elizabeth had a purpose for saying this quote.

What she <u><em>did not</em></u> do was compare two objects (simile or metaphor), give inanimate objects human qualities (personification), use words of noises (onomatopoeia), or use words that start with the same letters (alliteration.)

Therefore, t he correct answer is oxymoron.

Hope this helps! :D

What are the tense and voice of the italicized verb in the following sentence? Your sister had gone when we arrived. past passiv
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Past perfect tense.

Explanation:

Supposing that the italicized verb is <u><em>had gone</em></u>, then the tense is past perfect tense.

This past perfect tense is an action that has happened sometime in the past but before something new has happened. In the sentence, the word "gone" is the third form of the verb, thus making it a past tense. Then, the use of the word "had" which is the past tense form of the verb "to have" shows it is the "perfect" form of the verb.

Thus, the whole sentence "<em>Your sister had gone when we arrived.</em>" is in the  "past perfect tense".
