Answer: B) metaphor.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." A metaphor is also a comparison but it is made in a direct way (without using "like" or "as"). In the given sentence we can see an example or a metaphor that compares the road to a ribbon of moonlight.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The best way to revise the sentence is:

D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.

Explanation:

<u>The original sentence is not really defective, it is only missing a piece of information concerning when the car wash will be held. The best way to add it is to include it at the end of the sentence, as is done in letter D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.</u>

Let's take a look at the other options to understand why they are not usable.

Letter A does begin with the subject of the sentence, but interrupts it with extra information, preventing the sentence from being a direct one. It sounds really confusing. Letter B adds the "on Saturday" information at a strange place, also interrupting the direct flow of the sentence. Letter C puts the "on Saturday" information right at the beginning. It's not that this can't be done. But, in this case, a comma should be added after it. Nevertheless, it makes the introduction of the sentence too long, which is not a good thing.

Why doesn't Eurycleia want Telemachus to leave?
KatRina [158]
I believe that Eurycleia doesn't want Telemachus to leave because she doesn't want to leave the palace unprotected.
She believes that if he leaves, the suitors will try to plunder the palace and steal everything, and there will be no one to protect either the palace, or Penelope.
