(1) Earths crust is made up of relatively rigid plates that ride atop Earth's hot, semiliquid mantle. (2) The plates are called

tectonic because they're in constant motion. (3) They can move because Earth's mantle is a very hot and semiliquid fluid called magma. (4) Volcanoes are a result of magma rising or erupting through a plate, particularly where plate boundaries are moving against each other. (5) Also, when plates slide against each other, causing friction along adjacent plate boundaries, earthquakes frequently occur. (6) Therefore, we often find volcanoes and earthquakes along plate boundaries. (7) Plates may also collide. (8) When that happens, mountain ranges are formed. (9) For example, the collision of the plate carrying the Indian subcontinent created the Himalayan Mountains when it collided with the Asian plate.

The answer is D because you are starting a new thought about what tectonic plates can do.

The answer is D. Sentence 7. When it says "plates may also collide", it is bringing up another topic about the plates. As you read past sentence 7, you notice a shift in topic as you are reading. Instead of plates sliding against each other, the speaker is now talking about them colliding.

In "And Some More," what literary device is used in "You’re foot fleas"? What effect does this have for the audience?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

She used Imagery.

Imagery can be defined as the use of figurative languages to represent ideas, objects, and actions in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses.

The writer's use of this literary device will help the audience to understand that the way something looks may be described through the use of figurative languages (name calling).

The writer wants the audience to know that this name calling is  indicative of their age. It is something that "children" do when they cannot  think of anything else to argue but don't want to lose the linguistic war  they have with each other through silence. She helps us to see that children believe that the name calling can hurt another child as much  as anything else they could say or do, and it did hurts.

What is the meaning of the idiom "to swallow something hook, line, and sinker"?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

When you say, "to swallow something hook, line, and sinker" it means to completely fall for whatever was said or to completely believe what was told or presented. Usually, what was presented is a lie, and when the person is gullible enough to believe it, the phrase applies.
