Got it from Quizlet, hope it works for ya.
It's describing "cookies" which is a noun which makes it an adjective phrase, because adjectives describe nouns :)
Assuming that the bolded word is winner, the correct answer is object complement.
The word winner refers to the word <em>play - </em>and given that the word play is the direct object of this sentence, then the word <em>winner </em>will be its complement - it will complete it, and answer the question What did the critics declare the play to be?
It cannot be a predicate nominative because it is not preceded by a verb. It cannot be a direct object because that is <em>the play. </em>It cannot be a predicate adjective because it is a noun, not an adjective.
Answer:
The literary technique used in all three examples is <u>metaphor</u>.
Explanation:
<u>A metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an indirect comparison. </u>Unlike a simile -- a direct comparison --, which uses the support words "as" or "like", a metaphor does not use any support words. It simply states that thing A is thing B, instead of thing A is like thing B. For example:
- Your eyes are like stars. -- simile
- Your eyes are stars. -- metaphor
The purpose of a metaphor is to attribute the characteristics of one thing to another by comparing them, even if in reality they are not similar at all. When I say someone's eyes are stars, I don't mean it literally, of course. I refer to their beautiful brightness.
<u>That is precisely what Douglass does in all three examples in the question. Slavery does not literally have bitter dregs. It is not a dark night. The vessels were not ghosts. Douglass is making these indirect comparisons to attribute characteristics of one thing to the other. On dark nights, we can feel scared, lost, hopeless. By saying slavery is a dark night, Douglass may mean slavery made him feel that way.</u>
