Answer:

i dont think so

Explanation:

With metaphors, words or phrases that are ordinarily applied to one thing are applied to something you wouldn't necessarily pair it with. Here's a metaphor example: "The curtain of night fell upon us.". In this metaphor, the evening did not develop into a velvet curtain.

Absolute Metaphors - These metaphors compare two things that have no obvious connection, in order to make a striking point. For example, "She is doing a tightrope walk with her grades this semester."

Dead Metaphors - Like clichés, these metaphors have lost their punch through over-usage. For example, "You light up my life."

Extended Metaphors - These are exactly as they sound. They're lengthy metaphors that are intended to create deep comparisons, as in this classic example from Romeo and Juliet: "But soft! What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun! Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, who is already sick and pale with grief."

Implied Metaphors - These metaphors compare two things without using specific terms. For example, "Spending too much time with him is worse than swimming in a sea of sharks."

Mixed Metaphors - These metaphors jumble comparisons together, often without any logic. For example, "In the heat of the moment, she turned to ice and danced to the beat of her own drum."

Root Metaphors - These metaphors are so rooted in everyday language and assumptions, we hardly even recognize them as metaphors. You could liken them to dead metaphors or clichés, due to their over usage. For example, "Life is a journey

Jack has $8.20. His neighbor pays $10.00 for helping her move some boxes. Then jack spends $4.49 for a new comic book. How much
madreJ [45]

Answer:

$13.71

Explanation:

First jack has $8.20

Then he was paid $10.00 for work done by a neighbor

Total amount in his possession became:

$10.00 + $8.20

= $18.20

Then he made an expense of $4.49. we subtract this from his total money.

$18.20 - $4.49

= $13.71

Therefore total money that Jack has has left is $13.71.

Thank you

In the space provided, complete the sentence by placing appropriate indefinite pronouns in each blank.
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Everyone, nobody.

Explanation:

Indefinite pronouns are those pronouns used in places of names or a specific person or thing. They do not specify what the pronoun is, nor do they provide any indication of what the pronoun represents. They replace the nouns but do not provide any indication of what nouns they stand for.

In the given sentence, we can use the indefinite pronoun "<em>everyone</em>" and "<em>nobody</em>" as the sentence is in the contrasting side of each other. So, the new sentence will be-

Suzy loves to bake cookies for her family. <em><u>Everyone </u></em>loves them, but <em><u>nobody </u></em>helps her clean up.

This shows that while all the members of the family loves her cookies, only few of them help her clean up. Also, the indefinite pronouns are in the singular form as the corresponding verb is in the present tense.
