Answer:

The correct answer here is A)

The author uses strong adjectives and figurative language.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words used to characterise, explain or modify nouns or pronouns.

In the sentence above, stubborn, blazed-up and resistant function both as adjectives and as figurative expressions.

Adjectives because the author uses them to qualify Edna's will.

Figurative because, they suggest another form of meaning which in this context, of course, are used to project the strength and resilience of Edna's will.

Another example of the use of a figurative language is:

You are my diamond.

Cheers!

In the Lightning Thief who was the one struggling for power
Sauron [17]

In the book, there where a few characters that you can say were struggling for power. One person I would say before everyone would be Luke. His constant training and all his experience would make him fit the discretion also at the end he turned out to be the true lightning thief. Another would be Kronos, although he isn't mentioned until the end of the book, he was the one manipulating everyone's thought and turning the good bad. He gave Luke the idea to steal the master bolt.  So either of the two could be the answer. Hope I helped. :)

Social perceptions on schizophrenia (how the public views people with schizophrenia) a paragraph on this please 4 or 5 sentences
zaharov [31]

Answer:

People see those with schizophrenia as "insane" or "psychotic" due to the media they consume. Society has accepted this as gospel, but we're slowly starting to erase that viewpoint. Obviously, those who suffer with schizophrenia aren't what people say they are, since it's a disorder with a lot more layers to it than people believe. It's more than just "hearing voices", since more of the symptoms include social isolation, agitation, compulsivity, disorganization, and much more.
