A metaphor and a simile both describe something using a comparison to something else, but a metaphor does it an implied way, and a simile does it explicitly by using the word like or as. 

Example of a simile: She looked like a cat that had just been thrown in the water.
Example of a metaphor: She was a blank slate, ready to start anew.

mart [117]

Answer:

B). "He found that children and adults who have read stories their whole lives were more likely to correctly identify the feelings and thoughts of others than those who do not read regularly."

C). "Trying to understand these characters exercises the same mental muscle that helps us understand people in the real world."

Explanation:

The above two evidence factually support and substantiate the claim that 'people who read stories are better at communicating and understanding the feelings of others.'

The first evidence i.e. option B states that <u>the research revealed 'the children or adults who have been reading stories constantly their whole lives are able to recognize the thoughts or feelings of others more accurately' while the second evidence i.e. option C asserts logically that 'in attempt to understand the characters of stories, the same mental muscle is required for understanding people in real life.'</u>

Thus, these two pieces of evidence not only support but substantiates how reading comprehends our understanding of thoughts, opinions, or feelings of others. Hence, <u>options B and C</u> are the correct answers.

Read the definitions, then choose the word that correctly completes the sentence. In- = not aud = to hear -ible = can be done -i
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

My grandfather spoke so quietly that his words were almost inaudible.

Explanation:

We are supposed to use the infixes (formative elements of a word) to form a word that will complete the sentence properly. According to the sentence, the speaker's grandfather spoke quietly. We can safely assume it was difficult for the speaker to hear the words his grandfather said. In that case, we need "aud", which is connected to the verb "hear". Since it was not possible to hear, we also need "in-", meaning "not", and "-ible", meaning "can be done". Together, they form the adjective "inaudible", which means "unable to be heard".

When we complete the sentence, it becomes:

My grandfather spoke so quietly that his words were almost inaudible.
