Explanation:
Simile is a figure of speech that uses the words, ‘like’ or ‘as’
when comparing one thing to another. This makes the sentence more intense or definite.
For example, she was brave as a lion. So for this question, the answer is “He
gave the struggle his attention, as an idler might observe the feat of a
juggler, without interest in the outcome.” Since it uses the word ‘as’ and was
compared to an idler.
<span>He felt powerful and important.</span>
Spelling.
Word choice. Consistency. Style. <span>
When you proofread (which is different from editing, by the
way), you’ll really just be going over your writing for small mistakes/typos
that may have slipped by you earlier in the writing process. Proofreading can
be considered a type of “polishing up,” if you will, of a document before it is
finalized. You’ll be on the lookout for little errors such as spelling errors
and misused words/word choice—words that spell check may have missed because
spell check generally only catches misspelled words, not correctly spelled
words used incorrectly such as “their” when “there” should have been used or
“two” when “too” should have been used.
Additionally, when we are writing/typing, typically, our
minds work more quickly than do our fingers. Thus, our fingers may miss words
we intended for them to type. Too, our minds are such powerful things, if we
read over our work too soon after typing, we’ll read our writing as we intended
for it to be written, not as it actually is.
Other things to look out for are consistency and style. When
looking for consistency, it is important to make sure you are using the correct
verb tense throughout because when speaking, we tend to switch tense for
effect, and it is easy to let our speaking mannerisms find their way into what
we are writing.
On the topic of that, many of us often use clichés and
figurative language when speaking, and this is something for which to be on the
lookout when proofreading because we tend to speak figuratively in our daily
lives so much so that when writing, we don’t even know we are doing it, and in
academic writing, it is always best to be as literal as possible.</span>
The answers will be as follows
1. purring kitten. Onomatopoeia. An Onomatopoeia is a word that has the same attribute as the sound associated with it. In this case, the word "purring" sound like the actual purr of a cat. Other example may be words that are used as sound effects like "Ding!".
2. playing people passed the pond. Alliteration. An Alliteration is the repetitive use of the initial sound to form a melodious or pleasant musical feel. In this case the initial sound of /p/ is used. This is common among poem writers and lyricists.
3. I know that goat odor. Assonance. This is a bit like alliteration which deals with musicality of a piece, but assonance is on the vowel that occur inside the words of the line, in this instance the sound that produces the melodic feel is the sound /o/.
4. <span>He looked at his totaled bicycle and said calmly, "It's just a scratch." Understatement. The speaker here uses an understatement of what happened, he is downplaying the incident. This is commonly used in writing stories, especially when the incident that happens to the speaker forces him to resign with the fact that it happened.
5. </span><span>Although the monarchy lacks formal power, he still respects the crown.
Metonymy. Metonymy is the use of a particular word to refer another term, event or person. In this case the speaker used the word crown to refer to the royalty. Other examples may be the white house, to refer to the US government.
6.</span><span> My computer is moody this morning. Personification. The device used here tries to personify the inanimate object. The computer which is an inanimate object was given a character of a human, which was being moody. Another example may be, My alarm clock starts my day by screaming at me.
7. </span><span>"Son, that finger painting is a masterpiece!" Hyperbole. The statement here is overstating the facts. Knowing the the child was the son of the speaker, and that it was a finger painting, which is a common activity of a child, it could be deduce as such.
8. </span><span>"This is wonderful," he said while looking at his totaled bicycle. Irony. The speaker here does not mean that his totaled bike is totally awesome, instead he means the opposite, which was this suck and now he has to either replace the bike, or go without it.
</span><span>9. Her smile is a breath of fresh air. Metaphor. Metaphor is the use of a term to describe a thing that is not related to it. A breath of fresh air would be oxygen, but a smile does not give that. But speaker here means that her smile is full of life and makes him feel happy.
10. </span><span>His disposition is as light as a marshmallow. Simile. Simile are comparisons of objects that uses the marker "like" or "as _____ as a". This is commonly used in most poetry, and often the first literary device a person learns to use.
