Answer:

Natasha had <u>been waiting</u> for half an hour before her friend arrived.

Explanation:

The tense we are looking for here is the past perfect continuous. It shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another moment or action in the past. In this particular sentence, we have two actions: Natasha waiting, followed by her friend arriving. As both actions took place in the past, one before the other, we have to use the combination of the past perfect (in this case continuous) and past (simple) tense.

Construction of the past perfect continuous tense: had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).

which verb would make this statement an example of personification the cell phone a, lit up b, shook c, rang d,danced
goldfiish [28.3K]
<span>The correct answer is D. danced. Personification is a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or animals get human characteristics. So, obviously, a cell phone cannot really dance, but humans can, so if you use that verb to show that a mobile phone started ringing, then it's a personification because you assigned it human qualities that objects do not normally possess.</span><span />

In "Heat," H.D. uses hyperbole when she describes heat that actually prevents fruit from falling. How does this hyperbole affect
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a really short poem with several characteristics. One of them is the amount of imagery that the poet uses to communicate not so much a message but the impressions generated by what is being perceived by the speaker. We do not know who this speaker is, or what the setting is, all we known is that most likely this person is experiencing a really torrid place, most likely the tropics, as this person speaks about fruit that falls from trees. Probably one of the most impressive images this author gives is the one about heat. The poet uses such words as "cut" and "rend open" to let us know one thing; that wherever this person is, the heat is really high. In fact, the image is so strong, that through the hyperbole of heat preventing fruit from falling, you cannot help but think about the thickness of it and you feel as if you were going through a curtain of it. This is why the correct answer is A: It emphasizes how intense and powerful the heat is.
