4 0

Grover was bullied because he was different, and his differences made it easy for other kids to bully him. He was scrawny, emotional, cripple (a muscular disease in his legs), and he walked funny.

Grover was an easy target. He was scrawny. He cried when he got frustrated. He must've been held back several grades, because he was the only sixth grader with acne and the start of a wispy beard on his chin. On top of all that, he was crippled. He had a note excusing him from PE for the rest of his life because he had some kind of muscular disease in his legs. He walked funny, like every step hurt him, but don't let that fool you. You should've seen him run when it was enchilada day in the cafeteria.

Which of the following sentences is in active voice?

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

b. The flower bloomed earlier than expected.

Explanation:

The other three have 'was' before the verbs; 'the athlete was penalized', 'the child was fed', 'he was convinced', etc. This puts these three sentences in the passive voice. While, 'the flower bloomed earlier than expected' shows the flower acting the verb, rather than the verb acting on it, thus making putting it in the active voice.

hope this helps !!

What is the most likely meaning of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.

A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."

An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.

Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
