This sentence would be taking advantage of "hyperbole" since it is using an exaggerated statement to further a basic idea--not to be taken literally that the fire actually "swallowed up" the house.

The deep structure of the sentence "What are you reading?​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Explained as below.

Explanation:

There are two types of structure. The first one is the Surface structure, and the second one is Deep Structure. The surface structure conveys the general meaning of the sentence while the deep structure is a structure in which we identify the sentence's abstract meaning.

“What are you reading?” if we see a simple or surface structure merely asking a question, but in the deep structure, we can extract many meanings from this sentence.

You are What you read. Asking like “What are you reading?” could be meant to ask what the next person is up to. We can judge the personality of a person based on what he or she is reading. Because the things we read decide what our future will be. So asking this simple question could take you a lot more.

The soldiers were awestruck when they saw the village of the Bishnois, yet they were ready to destruct that peaceful and healthy
spayn [35]

Answer:

They would be damaging the environment by cutting down the trees. Trees play a vital role in the environment as they clean the air of carbon dioxide and help stop erosion as well as provide food and habitats to various organisms. Were they to be cut down, they would stop being these things to the environment.

As for the people, the solider betrayed their trust because as soldiers, they are meant to protect the people of the country that they are from. If a country's soldiers begins to attack the livelihood and property of the country's citizens as well as killing its own people, they have violated the oath they took to protect those same people.
