A comparison, because the USS Alabama is noted as being as big as a monster

It literally says that "The USS Alabama...is a monster". This is a metaphor because the ship is not literally a monster. By saying that it is a monster the author is using a metaphor to compare the USS Alabama to a monster. An analogy makes a comparison between sets of things. However, there isn't another comparison happening in this passage.

The USS Alabama, built in 1942, is a monster weighing in at 35,000 tons. The ship was built during the Second World War and spent 40 months actively assisting the war effort in the Pacific Ocean. During that time, she was in 26 battles. In 1964, the ship moved to her present home in Mobile, Alabama.

What evidence does the author provide to show that Mrs. Sappleton probably is aware of her niece's storytelling ability?

shepuryov [24]

“The Open Window” is a short story written by Saki and in this case the author provides evidence that Mrs Sappleton knew what her niece was doing and her ability for storytelling.

Option A) is the correct one “She says that Framton acts like he has seen a ghost.” since it explains why Framton left the place running as it coincides with the story told by the niece about ghosts.

Option B) is incorrect since there is no evidence that Mrs Sappleton believed the story about dogs told by the niece when Framton ran away.

Option C) is also incorrect since she never tells her husband that Vera scared Framton.

Option D) is also incorrect since even though she asks Framton if her niece has been amusing him, she does not say it to let the reader know she knows about her niece.

Read this source of information. (1) American youth have school commitments and extracurricular activities. (2) Many also enjoy

mixas84 [53]

The correct answer is 3

Explanation:

Sentence 3 "The US Department of Agriculture recommends that young people ages 6–17 should engage in 60 minutes of physical activity each day" focuses on the importance that young people exercise daily by explaining the time they should spend in exercising and establishing an age rate.

In this context, sentence 3 is ideal to support the point "recreational sports are valuable because youth need to exercise daily" because it directly explains and proves the importance for young people to exercise every day. Also, it is an appropriate piece of evidence because the US Department of Agriculture is an authority in nutrition, healthy habits, and similar.

Ali likes to sing, paint, and to play soccer.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The correct wording is "Ali likes to sing, paint, and play soccer".

<h3>What makes the difference in the word?</h3>

The use of "to" in the sentence is unnecessary because we are expressing the actions that Ali likes in the complete sentence.

Hence, the correct word to be use should be "Ali likes to sing, paint, and play soccer"
