Young people usually express themselves in a vague and short way. Morever, young people make use of informal vocabulary when they speak; words like "eager", and expressions like "bursting with excitement" or "a long day of testing" are ways of speaking in a formal way that are not common among young people. Therefore, option C: <em>We ran ro the cars and jumped in because we hated school</em> might be used to depict the voice of a young character because it is shorter and informal.
He's a human. he can behave how he feels
c. metaphorIn the above passage, the figurative language that exists is
in the form of the following words: “starless
midnight of racism and war.” We know the
figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the
words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not
personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human
things, and this is not occurring here.
We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a
hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an
exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude
that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons
that are not literally applicable. That
said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war,
it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
B. adapted. It is the word that makes the most sense in the context of the sentence.
