In the followoing sentence,"Seasons are celebrations. A year's a Ferris wheel. Both honor our world's habit of spinning 'round a star. " In the first line of this poem the poet id using the figurative language called a metaphor because he is making a direct comparison between two things. So your answer would be B, metaphor.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know! :)
The first one is the correct answer, I think
I would say the correct answer is <span>C. The author doesn't use any facts to support such a claim, so it can't be proven. When making this kind of claim, one has to support it with facts, e.g. artists make this or that percent of their income on concerts and commercials, which clearly proves that they don't depend on the money from CDs etc. The options A and B are not correct because they rely on "everyone knows", which is not true, and is also not supported with facts. The D option isn't correct because one doesn't need to know every artist personally to be able to make a claim based on facts.</span>
A.), because one pauses here, a comma wouldn't make sense.
This question is incomplete because the excerpt is missing; here is the excerpt:
In a smithy
one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam- the way they make soft iron hale and hard—:
just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
The answer to this question is D. How hot the spear actually is
Explanation:
The purpose of the epic simile is to make an extensive comparison between two elements of ideas. This differs from regular simile because it uses many details or lines to make the comparison. In the excerpt presented, the author uses an epic simile to compare the actin of the spike entering the eye of the cyclops with the action of putting a hot metal in a cold tub through details such as "white-hot axehead... in a cold tub" or "that eyeball hissed around the spike". Moreover, the purpose of using this epic simile is to emphasize how hot the spike is, which allows the reader to imagine the reaction of the cyclops as the hot spike enters its eye.
