I think you mean figure of speech but I might be wrong but I will tell you what a figure of speech is...

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that has a different meaning from its literal meaning.

for e.g. Similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole (Exaggeration) etc are examples.

Hope this helps! <span />

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense
zavuch27 [327]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include any text, book, or reference of these lines. You neither included the options for this question.

However, doing some deep research trying to help you, we found that you are referring to the book titled "The Story of My Life," written by Helen Keller.

So knowing that valuable information, we can say the following.

What Helen is comparing herself to is with the moment in her life where she had no clue about what to do with her path. She said that those moments were like she advanced without a compass, having no clue at all where "the harbor was."

The exact words she used in her text are: <em>"I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbor was."</em>

That is why she thinks that her education was essential to fiend her way, Her education gave her knowledge, and most importantly, it gave her direction.

Helpppp.What can you infer about Shakespeare’s view of the English treatment of the inhabitants of the new world from his contra
OLEGan [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Shakespeare's view of the treatment of the English by the inhabitants of the new world can be seen in "The tempest" through the relationship between Prospero and Calibam.

Calibam represents the inhabitants of the new world and shows how the English saw them in a rude, wild, ignorant and violent way. Shakespeare shows that Calibam is a lost creature that needs to be dominated, exploited and deceived by a European, who is someone cultured, civilized with divine powers, since he knows God. This European is Prospero who represents all the power and influence that Europe believes he had in relation to Native Americans.

Prospero imposes his will on the basis of intelligence and the ability to dominate different cultures and peoples.
