TIME REMAINING

English

1 answer:

loris [4]2 years ago

Answer:

"However, chores are building blocks for a firm foundation."

Explanation:

A metaphor is where one thing is described / compared to another thing, without the use of words such as "like" or "as". It is where one thing is described by directly referring to another.

In this case, "chores" are not actual "building blocks", but are described as being like them, by directly referencing them as building blocks, but without the use of words such as "like" or "as".

Hope this helps!

NOTE: If there is a word such as "like" or "as" (e.g. He was like a lion), than it would be a simile.

Jonas and The Giver discuss what would happen if Jonas were to become lost or get into an accident now that he has almost a year

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The Giver tells Jonas this because he is thinking that maybe it would be a good idea for the whole community to have memories again, and that he could help them cope with them.

Explanation:

When The Giver tells Jonas the story of Rosemary, he tells him that when she asked for her release, all the memories she had absorbed for 5 weeks returned directly to the community all at once. This caused great chaos, and with the pain that The Giver felt and the anger, he did not want to help them.

Now, he is deep in his thoughts because if something happened to Jonas, the memories of a whole year would pass directly to the minds of each person in the community. This could be a big problem, but what if The Giver helped them this time?

It's a considerable option, and that's why he tells Jonas that they can talk more about it sometime and that he needs to think about it some more.

Which of these is not a feature of parallel structure? Creating consistency in a series of words and phrases Expressing more tha

anyanavicka [17]

Answer: Third option: Mixing as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Explanation:

The question asks us about what is NOT a feature of parallel structures.

Parallel structures ARE used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases. They ARE used to express more than just one idea in a single sentence. They MAKE thoughts more interesting and easy to understand. What parallel structures do NOT do is mix as many forms of words and word endings as possible.

Parallelism consists of the repetition of a certain grammatical structure inside a sentence. The purpose of such repetition is to avoid confusion, making the speech clear, interesting, and easy to be understood. Let's compare the following examples:

1. I love watching TV, video games, and to read magazines.

2. I love watching TV, playing video games, and reading magazines.

The first structure does no present parallelism. Instead, the words completing the meaning of the verb "love " are a mix of grammatical forms. Even though this structure is understandable, it demands more from the reader/listener, since there is no pattern to make it easier to understand the meaning.

The second structure is a parallel one, and the words present similar grammatical forms (verb+ing). A pattern is created, making it simpler and more consistent.
