Which of the following sentences from the text contains an example of metaphor? (1 point) He looked like one of those ballerinas

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.

Answer:

Topic: There's a problem between two students who fought over -a pencil- and the monitor has to decide who to take support of because both of them are right by their sayings.

Explanation:

Example:

I once had to take a decision which I don't think is important as both the opponents were fighting over a pencil. I had to decide who to take support of as both of the people were right by their sayings. I asked my classmates about all of it and took my final decision. It turned to be fine as I took support of the right person.

hope it helps.

Wole Sooyinka in Death and the Kings horseman?<br><br><br>​
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Death and the King's Horseman isn't just about a clash of cultures—it's also about a clash of religions. Yoruba spirituality and Elesin's attempts to confront mortality and the afterlife are very much at the heart of the story, and Soyinka himself sees the spiritual dilemmas that the play presents as the key thing going on. The play definitely prompts us to think about different religions and customs and how they intersect and clash, dropping references to Islam and Christianity as well as lots of discussion of Yorubam religious practices.

Explanation:

By showing the richness of Yoruba traditions while simultaneously failing to show the British characters actively engaged in any kind of religion, Soyinka suggests the emptiness of British customs and religion.
