Answer:
Option 2 and option 4.
Explanation:
In option 2, the phrase "like a waterfall" is a simile. The word "like" followed by the comparison of something exaggerated is usually a giveaway to determine a simile.
In option 4, the phrase "Herculean task" can be classified as either an idiom or an allusion (or both). An idiom is an exaggeration of something and an allusion is when a phrase relates something to a work of literature. In this case, it's relating to the story of Hercules.
Answer:
(There's a correction, the 'Feather pillow' story was told by Ms. Guha and not Mrs. Debroy.)
Ms. Guha shared the 'Feather story' with the students to teach them a lesson on how much our words are valuable.
Explanation:
'Just for Fun' is a play that gives a moral on how important our words are and that one should not say those words which can not be taken back.
In the story, Ms. Guha shares a story of 'Feather pillow' with the students in the class. The story is about a man who spreads rumors and gossip about a wise man, whose advice he did not like. Through the story, Ms. Guha teaches the students a lesson that one should not spread rumors because just like feathers taken out of the pillow can not be filled back against, rumors and gossip spread can not be taken back.
Answer:
The irony is in the fact that both the lion and the tiger end up doing exactly the opposite of what they intended.
Explanation:
Hi. From the context of your question, we can see that you are referring to “The Cowardly Lion and Hungry Tiger,” which was written by L. Frank Baum. In this story we meet a lion who leaves its habitat determined to tear apart the first person it meets. In the same story, we see a tiger, which leaves its habitat determined to eat the first human baby it targets in front of it. The ironic thing is that when they find what they want they do completely different things.
The lion finds a woman lying on the ground and instead of tearing her to pieces, it lifts the woman and takes her home very gently and safely. The tiger, upon finding a baby on the ground, does not devour the baby, but takes it very gently to its mother, who is the woman the lion helped.
