English

<span>It means the same thing as "dead as a doornail" completely dead. Dumplings aren't alive so they are "dead". So "dead as a dumpling" means to be completely dead, not alive in the slightest. </span>

To be " dead as a dumpling" means that you are very dead. It's an expression that you use to describe something or someone that you know for sure is dead.

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Let's look at this sentence first since it's the most simple one:

"Does it stink like rotten meat?"

Explanation:

Step one (green):

First off, this is a simile. The "like" isn't the simile itself but just a key that is helpful for finding the simile.

Similes are things like "This song is like my favorite album's music." The WHOLE sentence is the simile.

Now, hopefully you've got that :)

Step two (yellow):

For this, we are looking at what is being compared. For this case "it" and "rotten meat" are being compared.

Again looking at "This song is like my favorite album's music." The "song" and "music" are being compared.

Let's look at another one in this assignment -

"Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?"

For this case, "it" and "raisin" are being compared.

Make sense?

Step three (blue):

Let's look at: "Does it stink like rotten meat?"

What is the action verb. Well by looking at this none of them are verbs EXCEPT stink. Some might say "he's stinking really bad today." That is an action VERB. Hope that helps :)
