• Simile
A figure of speech that is based on comparison it can be identified when the comparison uses the word (like or as) in a sentence

Example:
-The eats like a dog.
-He is as big as a house.

• Metaphor
It’s also a figure of speech based on comparison however it refers to one thing by mentioning another it has a rhetorical effect (hidden comparison)

Example:
-My sister is the black sheep of the family.( it’s a metaphor because she is not black nor is she a sheep)
-He is a shinning star.( it’s a metaphor because he is not a star )

• Personification
A figure of speech that gives human qualities to an inhumane object

Example:
- The tall Grass dances in the wind ( Its a personification because grass is not human therefore it can’t dance)

•Hyperbole
A figure of speech that is not to be taken literally as it consists exaggerated statements.

Example:
-It’s boiling hot (the level of warmth experienced is exaggerated)

Rewrite the paragraph below, correcting the shifts in verb tense. Father Firman invited his friend, Father Nulty, to come over a
stepladder [879]

Answer:

<h2>Mr. Firman invited his friend, Mr. Nulty, to come over and have dinner with him and Mrs. Stoner. The maid fixed a big dinner for the three of them, and when they were ready for dessert, she brought a cake out for Mr. Nulty because it was his fifty-ninth birthday. The candles were lit and the lights were turned out so that he could blow out the candles in the dark. Mrs. Stoner then began to clear the table of the food and dishes.</h2>

Explanation:

The given paragraph recounts a past event and thus, the tense of the verbs would be written in the past indefinite tense consequently. Since some of the verbs are mistakenly written in the present tense, they need to be shifted into the past tense(which is called tense shift). This will assist in enhancing the vividness and incision of the narrative account. Thus, verbs like 'fixes, brings, are turned, begins' will be changed into the past in order to make the meaning more precise and clear.

What is the TOPIC of the poem mending wall​
koban [17]

Answer:

A widely accepted theme of "The Mending Wall" concerns the self-imposed barriers that prevent human interaction. In the poem, the speaker's neighbor keeps pointlessly rebuilding a wall; more than benefitting anyone, the fence is harmful to their land. But the neighbor is relentless in its maintenance, nonetheless.
