rcise in your defence, And for your rapier most especially, That he cried out, 'twould be a sight indeed If one could match you; the scrimers of their nation, He swore, had neither motion, guard, nor eye, If you oppos'd them.

Answer: to illustrate Claudius's skills of manipulation

Explanation: In this excerpt of Act IV, Scene VII, of "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark", Shakespeare includes this plot event <u><em>to illustrate Claudius's skills of manipulation</em></u>. Claudius tells Laertes that Hamlet has been jealous of his use of the rapier, and then he nearly forces Laertes to duel with Hamlet and kill him with a poisoned sword instead of the bladeless rapier. To be sure of Hamlet's death he will add poison to a cup he will offer Hamlet if he outlives the duel.

Which sentences from the passage match each type of figurative language?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Simile - Suddenly, a striped orange cat galloped toward Janine like a racehorse.

Metaphor - Tiger's purr was a chainsaw that sliced through the air.

Personification - After she closed the door, silence slapped her in the face.

Explanation:

A simile, is figure of speech, that makes a comparison between two things, using the words "like", or "as". We can see that in the sentence, <em>"Suddenly, a striped orange cat galloped toward Janine like a racehorse." </em>, that the narrator is comparing how the cat galloped, to the gallop of a racehorse.

A metaphor, is a figure of speech that makes a comparison, <em>without</em> using the words "like" or "as". We can see that in the sentence, <em>"Tiger's purr was a chainsaw that sliced through the air"</em>, that the narrator is comparing Tiger's purr to a chainsaw.

A personification, is figure of speech, in which inanimate objects, are given human attributes. We can see in the sentence, <em>"After she closed the door, silence slapped her in the face"</em>, that the personification is, silence slapped her in the face. Because we can't physically feel and touch silence, there is no way that silence could do the same to us.
