Passage. In this excerpt from Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway, identify the text that makes unconventional use of metaphors. What

an extraordinary habit that was, Clarissa thought; always playing with a knife. Always making one feel, too, frivolous; empty-minded; a mere silly chatterbox, as he used. But I too, she thought, and, taking up her needle, summoned, like a Queen whose guards have fallen asleep and left her unprotected (she had been quite taken aback by this visit—it had upset her) so that any one can stroll in and have a look at her where she lies with the brambles curving over her, summoned to her help the things she did; the things she liked; her husband; Elizabeth; her self, in short, which Peter hardly knew now, all to come about her and beat off the enemy.
"Well, and what’s happened to you?" she said. So before a battle begins, the horses paw the ground; toss their heads; the light shines on their flanks; their necks curve. So Peter Walsh and Clarissa, sitting side by side on the blue sofa, challenged each other. His powers chafed and tossed in him. He assembled from different quarters all sorts of things; praise; his career at Oxford; his marriage, which she knew nothing whatever about; how he had loved; and altogether done his job.

I believe this is the correct answer:
<span><em>So before a battle begins, the horses paw the ground; toss their heads; the light shines on their flanks; their necks curve. So Peter Walsh and Clarissa, sitting side by side on the blue sofa, challenged each other. 

</em>I would choose that particular paragraphs because the metaphor is slightly unusual there - two kids, Clarissa and Peter Walsh (when they were young) are being compared to horses, which is not really a common occurrence. <em>
</em></span>

Identify the italicized word according to its class in structural linguistics. The principal is extremely busy.
BlackZzzverrR [31]
The italicized word is <em>extremely </em>and the correct answer is intensive.
The word extremely is an adverb, which means that you can rule out <em>noun, adjective, </em>and <em>verb </em>immediately. You can also rule out <em>empty word </em>because <em>extremely </em>has a particular meaning on its own, which means that it cannot be empty. Thus, we are left with one option only - <em />intensive.

Can you proofread this? ik it is long but i need another opinion.
Rzqust [24]

-Are the words "Transition" and "Conclusion sentence" there because you used it as a guide, you are required to have them, or you need to put one in

-There was a little bit of a lot of word and sentence repeating, I feel like a different word choice could have been used, like synonyms. Like instead of knowledge being used 500 times, awareness or apprehension, understanding, or comprehension could have been used. Just look up synonyms of words you used a bunch of times or for bland (boring) words

- There is some punctuation that could be improved

- Flow is good, with a few choppy parts

- Other than those it is really good

-Let me know if you need anything else, I am more than happy to help

Composition about THE DAY I CAN NEVER FORGET​
harkovskaia [24]
The day was very bright when we decided to play a football match with a nearby football team in our neighborhood. We called the best players among ourselves leaving Kelvin behind. In fact, this guy isn’t good using his foot for things like this, I mean he’s very weak when it comes to playing football but he came along to support us.
We played about ten(10) minutes and they scored us so we decided to break for half time not knowing our best striker whom we believed won’t play again. There was no substitute to fix him and confidently, Kelvin said he can play. We all burst into laughter, we even thought that it was a dream but we had no choice but to replace him since there was no one.
Within three minutes of play, we had scored two goals of which kelvin scored it all. He could dribble from the center to the opponents half and place the ball at a very unexpected position to score a goal. On the thirty-fifth minutes, our opponents gave up for they were tired and the game results in 6:3 in favor us.
We felt ashamed underrating the guy and all he could tell us was that “we should sometimes hide the good things in us in order to know true friends who believe in our effortless caliber”. We were all mute as I told them that “THIS IS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET”
