Answer: D)  Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." In the given excerpt, Kate Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot, in the phrase "That was the way all the Aubignys fell in love, as if struck by a pistol shot."

<span>D) Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot.</span>

 

Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most readers.  Because not everyone may have the same perspective of just how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love, the use of a simile would work well.  As such, to describe something that might be known to readers (a pistol shot) and compare that to the quickness of their falling in love, the readers may begin to understand just how quickly they fall in love.

Monica [59]

Answer with Explanation:

The speaker depicts the Americans as unable to cherish the beautiful moments because they are <em>always in a hurry</em> to think about what other things they can accomplish due to short time. This shows their materialistic side that once they achieve one thing, they relax and, in just a moment, they become violent again to get more than they achieved.

They always want to achieve things easily <em>without thinking about the consequences of their actions</em> on others because they want to be <u>easily gratified. </u>They are not immediately contented nor do they find things perfect for their satisfaction. Thus, they are always<u> restless and anxious</u> and it makes them<em> unhappy</em> even if they have the abundance of things.

For the sequence given by an=4n+5 , answer the following:
Reika [66]
A.) First 5 terms are: 4(1) + 5, 4(2) + 5, 4(3) + 5, 4(4) + 5, 4(5) + 5 = 4 + 5, 8 + 5, 12 + 5, 16 + 5, 20 + 5 = 9, 13, 17, 21, 25

b.) 25th term = 4(25) + 5 = 100 + 5 = 105
sum of the first 25 terms = 25/2(9 + 105) = 25/2(114) = 285

c.) The sequence is an arithmetic sequence because, the sequence increases by addition of 4.
