The correct matching are as follows:
1. PERSONIFICATION: Attributing human characteristics to inanimate objects.
Personification is a part of speech which attribute personal nature to a non human object. It may also represents an abstract quality in human form. Personification is usually used in sentences in order to present situations more vividly so that others can understand clearly. Here is an example of personification: My alarm clock usually spring to life at exactly five o'clock every morning. In this sentence, 'spring to life' is a human characteristic, but in this sentence it is been attributed to an alarm clock.
2. HYPERBOLE: Blatant exaggeration.
A hyperbole is a part of speech which expresses exaggerated claims that are not suppose to be taken literary. In hyperbole, exaggeration is always used in order to emphasis the point that is been made. Here is an example of hyperbole: My car moves faster than light. The speed of light in a vacuum is the fastest in the universe at the rate of 186282 miles per second. Thus it a big exaggeration to say that a car is faster than light.
3. SIMILE: Comparison using 'like or as'
Simile is a figure of speech that compares two things which are not alike. Simile is typically used in sentences in order to make descriptions more emphatic. In sentences, simile usually use connecting words such as like, as,so, than, etc to make comparison.  An example of simile is this: Jenny is as tall as a giraffe.
4. IRONY: Discrepancy between what is said  and what is meant.
Irony is a figure of speech that uses words in such a way that their intended meaning is totally different from the actual meaning of the words. Irony usually shows the difference between what is seen and the actual reality. An example of irony is this: The bricklayer's hand was as soft as a rock.
5. METAPHOR: Comparison without using 'like or as'.
Metaphor is a figure of speech that is used to compare two things that are not totally unalike. Metaphor used direct comparison without employing words such as 'like'and 'as'. Here is an example of metaphor: Jenny's mother is the light of her life. This sentence is comparing Jenny mother to light and it means that she is the source of happiness for her daughter.<span />

Answer:

↓

Explanation:

My family does own our home but it is everything but ideal. My home is a 2 room house with your average kitchen, living room, and even a backroom that we transformed into the laundry room. Now, this house is meant for 4 people max to live here, yet 6 people live in a 2 bedroom house. It is crammed and packed, not being able to enjoy a gathering of the small place, hot water running out 24/7, never any privacy. Now would I think an alternative would be better for us? Yes, definitely it would make life on the daily so much easier and effective. Having more space would quite frankly change our lives all for the good. We would all have our own space, our own space that we could call ours. We would no longer have to struggle with the hot water running out or the lack of space at the gatherings. This would make a positive significant impact.

Contact [7]

Answer:

it is correct

Explanation:

Many women played important roles in the Civil Rights Movement, from leading local civil rights organizations to serving as lawyers on school segregation lawsuits. Their efforts to lead the movement were often overshadowed by men, who still get more attention and credit for its successes in popular historical narratives and commemorations. Many women experienced gender discrimination and sexual harassment within the movement and later turned towards the feminist movement in the 1970s. The Civil Rights History Project interviews with participants in the struggle include both expressions of pride in women’s achievements and also candid assessments about the difficulties they faced within the movement.

Lesechka [4]
I was pregnant for the first time and as a first time mother, you become too excited in buying baby stuff. The impulsive decision that I made during that time was buying all the baby stuff regardless if it's really useful or not as long as it is sold in the baby store. I made that decision impulsively out of excitement. When I gave birth to my baby, a lot of those things were not used at all, especially the clothes and it was a waste of money. If I had the decision to make all over again, I would carefully choose what things that are really needed so the rest of the money will be used to something more useful instead, such as milk and diapers.

true or false Speakers use rhetoric to try to convince their audiences to agree with a certain point of view or opinion on an is
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

You will see rhetoric devices every single day of your life in anything from billboard signs to political debates. Rhetoric is manipulating the way you present your cause through logos, pathos, ethos, kairos, and exigence, in order to persuade your audience. Logos is using statistics such as an amount of money raised or an average death rate of a disease. Pathos is using emotions such as using children or cute animals in an advertisement or guilt-tripping the audience. Ethos is using credibility and is basically saying "you should believe me because I'm well known and know what I'm talking about". Kairos and exigence is what happened or failed to happen that compelled you to speak out about your cause.
