Literal language means exactly what it says, while figurative language uses similes, metaphors, hyperbole, and personification to describe something often through comparison with something different.

Figurative language is used for expressions and figures of speech. An example would be "It's raining cats and dogs." Literal language is used more for formal language. An example would be "It's raining very hard."

Neither cereals nor eggs__to me for breakfast A.appeal B.appeals

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Neither cereals nor eggs appeal to me for breakfast.

Explanation:

Subject-verb agreement is a term from linguistics, referring to the fact that the subject and verb must agree in number. Both the subject and verb need to be singular or plural.

The given sentence is an example of a tricky agreement problem, as determining the right number of the verb may be difficult when two subjects are connected by neither-nor or either-or. The number of the verb depends on the noun closest to it. If the noun is plural, the plural form of the verb should be used. The verb is in the singular form if the noun closest to it is singular. That is why the sentence should say Neither cereals nor eggs appeal to me for breakfast. The verb in singular form should be used in sentences such as Neither eggs nor bacon appeals to me for breakfast.
