For now we are afraid, just like those who on a ship see their helmsman terrified. The passage is an example of simile. Option 3 is correct.

The word LIKE implemented in order to make a comparison, indicates us that this statement is a simile.

Simile is defined as a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared. When comparing two objects, aspects or ideas, simles always include the words "as" or "like", as in the sentence provided.

Good Morning

Gentlemen of the board

Request for the repair of material for classes.

The reason I am writing the letter is to request the proper repair of a broken whiteboard that is in our classroom to continue with the proper classes as normal.

Thanks for your attention.

Explanation:

A letter of this type is made to request personal intervention from an important or higher-ranking party, to request information about something or to request help with a problem.

Depending on what is requested, in general, they should be written in clear language, without excesses of formality, and clearly and simply stating those details that you wish to request.

Highlight the subjects and the predicates.

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer with Explanation:

1. Highlight the subjects and the predicates.

Sentence: Eugene was playing a make-believe baseball game while his cousin was studying her history lesson.

Subjects:

"Eugene"
"his cousin"

Predicates:

"was playing a make-believe baseball game"
"was studying her history lesson"

Remember that the doer of the action is the subject while the predicate is the part of the sentence containing the action.

2. Which is an independent clause?

Sentence: Eugene was playing a make-believe baseball game while his cousin was studying her history lesson.

Independent Clause:

"Eugene was playing a make-believe baseball game"

An independent clause is a type of clause that stands on its own. It has a subject and a predicate and has a complete thought. The sentence above is connected by a "subordinating conjunction" (while). The dependent clause is "while his cousin was studying her history lesson."

Which of these sentences using eating as a participle?

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Two sentences use "eating" as a participle:

B. My eating habits are a lot healthier than they used to be.

D. This problem has been eating away at me, and I can't sleep.

Explanation:

The gerund and the present participle are identical to the eye. They both are formed by adding -ing to a verb root. Thus, "eating" can be a gerund or a participle, according to the context.

The difference between them is quite simple. The gerund acts like a noun, having the same functions a noun would have in a sentence: subject, object of a verb or of a preposition, and subject complement. The present participle, on the other hand, will either act as an adjective, modifying a noun or a pronoun, or be a part of a continuous tense.

That is precisely what we have in options B and D. In option B, "eating" is an adjective modifying the noun "habits". In letter D, "eating" is a part of the Present Perfect Continuous tense. Therefore, in options B and D, "eating" is a participle:

B. My eating habits are a lot healthier than they used to be.

D. This problem has been eating away at me, and I can't sleep.
