<u>My dad will kill me when he comes home. </u>

<u>Your skin is softer than silk. </u>

<u>She's as skinny as a toothpick.</u>

<u>Hyperbole is from a Greek word meaning "excess" is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to make a point or show  emphasis. It is the opposite of understatement.</u>

Read the excerpt from “Birches” by Robert Frost.
klemol [59]

Answer: The sun has a wondrous effect on icy birch branches.

Explanation:

Robert Frost in this excerpt speaks of how birches are affected by ice and then by the environment around them from how the birches are bent by ice to how the icy branches are then affected by the wind, rain and sun.

At the end Robert describes the effect the sun has on the branches and notes how the sun enables the birches to shed to snow in such heaps that one might think a part of heaven has fallen. As heaven is considered so beautiful, it must mean that the effect the sun had was a beautiful and wonderful one.

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Subordinating

Explanation:

The underlined phrase in the given sentence is <em>in order that.</em>

Subordinating conjunctions are conjunctions used to connect a subordinating (dependent) clause to the main (independent) clause.

<em>In order that</em> is an example of a subordinating conjunction. It is used to express the purpose or reason why the events described in the main clause take place. <em>The judge listened to the explanation</em> is the main clause. The subordinating clause introduced by the conjunction<em> in order that</em> explains why he listened to the explanation - because he wanted to decide fairly.
