<h3>
Answer: A) Personification</h3>
Explanation:
The winter weather isn't a person, but the author is making it seem like the cold wind is from Jack Frost's breath. So the author is making the wind or just cold weather in general seem like a person of sorts, or part of a person's traits. Personification is the act of turning any inanimate object or non-human thing to have human traits. Hence the "person" in "personification".
Other examples of personification are sentences like:
- The tree danced in the wind
- The river swallowed more ground as the water rose more rapidly
- Time flies when you're having fun
- The ocean lashed angrily at the beach.
I'm sure you can probably come up with more creative examples or look them up elsewhere to get a better grasp on how personification works.
Hi, the answer is B - compliant. "Attenuated" means "extremely thin", "magnanimous" means generous, "polygamous" means "having multiple partners simultaneously". And the correct answer, "compliant", means "obedient", "acquiescent".
Answer:
extended discussion on a subject
Explanation:
Course as defined in the scenario above means movement along a path. The word discourse could therefore be broken into two:
dis - which plays the role of a prefix and ;
course - the root word meaning movement along a path
The prefix usually means : to break, move apart, deviate or opposite of something. Therefore combining the root word and the prefix, we might define discourse to mean a discussion or talks which isn't just in a certain direction or path, it could be characterized as being unusually long covering various fields.
