What is meant by a literal interpretation

English
1 answer:
AlekseyPX3 years ago
6 0
A literal interpretation is explaining something based on the literal meaning of the words or story, rather than the metaphorical meaning. For example, in Jack and the Beanstalk, the literal interpretation is that he actually climbed a beanstalk into a palace in the sky and found a golden egg. The metaphorical meaning is that he received wisdom, nurtured it, and it grew exponentially. Though the wisdom itself may not have been worth money, it led to wealth and success that could not be accessed another way. You see?

Identify the sentence as simple or compound.
mash [69]

My question was deleted because it was "incomplete", but I'll answer again.

Simple

This sentence is simple because it contains one singular idea. It may be incorrectly identified as compound because the subject is compound (Forest rangers and volunteers). This is an easy mistake.

Hope this helps!! Good luck, mate. :)

Tell me which highlighted sentence is independent
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

"Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray"

Explanation:

An independent clause is a part of a sentence that can stand alone and still be a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb.

In the problem, the independent clause is "Today's medical students owe a debt to Dr. Henry Gray". This is because we can take this section of the sentence out of the original and it can still make sense by itself since it has the subject ("students") and the verb ("owe").

The other part of the sentence is a dependent clause because it cannot stand alone: while it does have a verb "is", it does not have a main subject to go with that verb.

Hope this helps!
