Answer:

The idiom is "skeleton crew" which means the availability of just enough employees to keep the work running.

Explanation:

Idioms are those words or groups of words that suggest or have a meaning which is not deducible from the given word. They are used in expressions which are not literally applicable or which cannot or should not be taken in the literal sense.

In the given sentence, the word 'skeleton crew' is an idiom which suggests that the company suffered a lot, leading to the reduced number of employees. the skeleton crew meant that there are just enough employees or workers to keep the company working. That means that the newspaper is barely manageable, with just the right amount of workers available in the company to do the work needed.

ESSAY: DESCRIBING POETRY
Anna [14]

Answer:

It is a subjective art form that affords its authors the right to express themselves in ways both classical and innovative. Poems do not have to rhyme, neither do they have to follow any special structure or include any precise style. Still, most poems do emphasize a few key characteristics. These are stylistic choices that can diversify from piece to piece but must nevertheless be made by every poet. Figures of speech, or figurative language, are ways of describing or explaining things in a non-literal or non-traditional way.  Imagery is something ferroconcrete, like a sight, smell or taste. The imagery depicts what the poet sees, hears or otherwise senses, be it a literal image or one that exists in his mind. Visual imagery, which describes what the poet sees, is the most common type of image in poetry. It creates a picture that the reader or audience can see in his mind. The punctuation and composition of the poem deal with how it is systematized on the page and how the author signifies for you to read it.
