that dance just on the tips of their toes. Momma's horrible snake-woman voice came out again and said, 'If you ever, ever . . . ' Byron's hand was shaking and he was crying like a big baby but his finger still stayed out. Right when the fire was going to give him a good roasting Joetta ran across the room and, sounding like that Little Engine That Thought It Could, she blew the match out before it got him!

Momma's horrible snake-woman voice came out again and said, 'If you ever, ever . . . '

A metaphor is a comparison of two things without using like or as. In this sentence Momma's voice is being compared to that of a snake-woman. It is showing her disappointment in whatever her child did. The other options are all similes. They compare two things, just like a metaphor, but they use the word "like" which is indicative of a simile.

Which sentence uses dashes correctly? will upvote
Arisa [49]
A. <span><span>I'd love to stay and talk, but—yikes! I'm really late now.
</span>This is the correct answer. The dash here is used properly because it shows the break in thought, and it changes the tone of the speaker. That is one use of dashes.
<span>
B. </span></span><span>Today we studied a poem, did an experiment, and multiplied fractions. (The sentence doesn't need the dash.)
C. </span><span>The coat—one of the most colorful that I've seen--seemed to be made of string. (It needs another dash after seen.)
</span>D. <span>There on the stage was my sister! (Does not need the dash.)</span><span>

Construct five examples of simple sentences.
Nonamiya [84]
  <span>A simple sentence (called an independent clause), includes a verb and noun. 

Example: The boy fell (verb: fell, noun: boy) 
Example: In the tub, the boy fell on his bottom. (verb: fell, noun: boy) 
Example: The dog barked. 
Example The dog barked at the cat last night. 
Example: This question is odd. 

Compound sentences include two independent clauses but doesn't require a dependent clause, and the independent clauses are connected using a conjunction (but), or punctuation like a semi colon (;) or comma (,). 

Example: My friend invited me to the game but my parents didn't let me go. (2 clauses: invited to a game, parents didn't let him go. Conjunction: "but") 

Example: I have to stay up all night to finish this, my meeting is first thing in the morning. (2 clauses: stay up all night, meeting in the morning. Punctuation is a comma).</span>
