Answer:

The type of figurative language used in "Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health" is

C) oxymoron

Explanation:

Oxymorons make use of two seemingly contrasting words to express something more emphatically. The apparent contradiction rests in that fact that, if analyzed individually, the words would indeed present opposing meanings. However, the contradiction makes sense according to the context and its purpose is to emphasize an idea or to express the confusion or ambiguity of the moment.

In the excerpt, the oxymorons are:

- the lightness of a feather associated to the heaviness of lead;

- light associated with smoke, for smoke is dark and makes the environment dark as well;

- fire is obviously hot, but is associated with cold;

- health being called sick, when sickness should be the absence of health.

After looking carefully at the excerpt from Romeo and Juliet: "Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health"; it's appropriate to state that the type of figurative language which is used by the author is Oxymoron.

As it's known, an oxymoron can be a phrase or statement that seems to say two opposite things, which is case with the use of two words with opposite meaning such as "sick health", "cold fire", "bright smoke" or "feather and lead" together.

E. Expanding on the description of the cleaner wrasse's penchant for eating parasites off other fish.

The change that the writer will need to make in order for this new information to work in the context of the overall argument the writer is making is to update the line of reasoning in the final paragraph to acknowledge Gallup's contrasting perspective and respond to it.

When this is done, it should be reliable to the readers which can be done by supporting the statement with facts.

Contrast the point of view of Gessen and Sakura form the stingy artist
enyata [817]

Answer: Gessen and Sakura do have very different points of view about the painter and his fees. Sakura believes it is shameful for him to bring up money, and she says that he is greedy. Gessen does not feel shame in charging so much from rich people when it is to a good cause. He suffers through their scorn because he knows the money is being spent to improve the lives of the poor villagers, who he will later spend the money on.
