English
1 answer:
svetoff [14.1K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Synecdoche is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that refers to a part of something is substituted to stand in for the whole, or vice versa. For example, the phrase “all hands on deck” is a demand for all of the crew to help, yet the word “hands” just a part of the crew stands in for the whole crew.

What literary term is used when the author states "Ah, Loneliness"?
goldenfox [79]
The author uses the literary device personification in “Ah Loneliness”. Personification is giving a humanlike quality to something that is not human. In the poem the speaker talks to Loneliness as if it is a person that can talk back to him. He even capitalizes the L at the beginning of loneliness like you would the name of a person.

Which of the following sentences does not use slang or jargon?
Paladinen [302]

The sentence that does not use slang or jargon is:

  • After I arrived home from work, I plopped down on the couch and turned on the television.

<h3>What is slang?</h3>

Slangs are some kind of words that are used in informal situations. All the sentences above use slang and jargon, but sentence C does not use such informal language.

All the words used can be applied in formal language. Plopped in that instance means a clumsy way of sitting down. So option C is right.

Which statement best uses specific evidence to support an argument or claim?
noname [10]
The third option shows evidence. A survey from the Truth Initiative shows that in 2017, 20.9% of adults in Alabama smoked.

When you read all other options none of them give you any data or statements that can be classified as “evidence.”

Hope this helps!
