c. metaphor

In the above passage, the figurative language that exists is in the form of the following words:  “starless midnight of racism and war.”  We know the figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present.  We know the figurative language is not personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human things, and this is not occurring here.  We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an exaggeration here.  Thus, we can conclude that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons that are not literally applicable.  That said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war, it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.

Read Fatima’s paragraph.
Roman55 [17]

The sentence Fatima's teacher will most likely ask her to revise is "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter."

<h3>What does Fatima need to revise?</h3>

To revise a text, we must pay attention to anything that stands out as lacking cohesion or coherence, any unnecessary repetitions, or any mistakes that may prevent readers from understanding the idea.

After reading Fatima's paragraph, we can see that there is one sentence repeating the same idea about the previous year twice: "Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter." This sentence sounds too informal, since it is acceptable in colloquial speech to repeat ideas as we talk.

However, written language should be more formal and grammatically accurate. For that reason, it is likely that Fatima's teacher will ask her to revise the sentence above in order to remove the repetition.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option.

This is the complete question with the missing answer choices:

Read Fatima’s paragraph.

Having moved up north just last year, I experienced my first snowstorm this past winter. At first, the snow twirled gently, lightly dusting the street, cars, and trees with snowy frosting. Then, the snow became a curtain, blinding my view so that I felt cocooned from the outside world. When the snow stopped, ice coated the trees and branches clacked like chαttering teeth.

Rus_ich [418]
Alleged madness

The passage from Act 3 Scene 4 has the recurring idea of  alleged madness. First, Olivia, Maria, Sir Toby and Fabian were all making Malvolio seem crazy and devil-possessed with his snobbery and arrogance. Then, the passage shows Olivia desperately in love, thinking she is like Malvolio--going mad. Lastly, Antonio's friendship to Sebastian ( who was actually Cesario) was introduced. Antonio was made to seem mad from his misdirected loyalty.
