What is the meaning of the phrase "I run before my horse to market"?

English

It means to get ahead of yourself.


It comes from a soliloquy in which Richard talks about his plans once Clarence and Edward are dead, but then he brings himself back to earth, saying 'I run before my horse to market', because they are both still alive and only when they are dead can he start counting his gains. It's a little like saying 'counting your chickens before they are hatched.'

Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree is an example of which type of comparison?
Kazeer [188]
Based on the given statement above, I can say that the type of comparison that is being shown is a SIMILE. A simile is a literary technique that compares two unlike objects with the use of the words "like" or "as...as". Apparently, this uses "as...as" in comparing "they" and "bark of a tree". Hope this helps.

Answer:

Under the astonished, wide-eyed moon, with the fires casting strange shadows upon these towering figures, I am rather inclined to believe him.

Explanation:

Unlike the second to last sentence (right before the above written), this sentence gives the moon traits that a person would have. The second to last sentence (the one with "They walk") only <em>tells</em> the personification rather than <em>shows</em>.

Schools must ensure certain rights, accommodations
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Sexual violence and harassment are vices which typically occurs in schools. It is important that in every school, there should be a procedure or sector that will be in charge of handling the complaints by victims of sexual related vices.

With regards to the question, schools must ensure certain rights, accommodations and also protective measures for sexual assault victims not only in a situation whereby they choose to report to law enforcement.
