Answer:

The above statement is true.

Explanation:

The line "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" is both a metaphor and a paradox.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which two things are compared with each other which are very different from each other but they have at characteristic common to each other. In the above statement, birth has been compared to 'sleep' and the process of 'forgetting'. Here the process of being born has been compared with a slow-moving away from God. It has been assumed that before being born, a person lives with God. Later when he is born, he starts his journey to move away from god.

At the same time, this statement is an example of a paradox. A paradox is a figure of speech in which contradictory or logically unacceptable elements exists in the same sentence. The above sentence is a paradoxical statement because here 'birth' has been said to be a 'sleep' which is the contradictory idea altogether.

Identify the sentence structure of the sentence below

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Simple sentence

Explanation:

Every sentence must contain a subject and predicate and express a complete thought. Independent clauses are clauses that can stand alone as sentences, which means that they possess all of these elements. Dependent clauses don't, which is why they can't stand alone.

A simple sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause.

A compound sentence is a sentence that consists of at least two independent clauses.

A complex sentence is a sentence that consists of one independent clause and at least one dependent clause.

The given sentence is an example of a simple sentence. It consists of one independent clause. Its subject is my mother and the predicate is baked cookies and chocolate cupcakes. That is one subject and one predicate, which means that this is one independent clause.

This is why the first option is the correct one.
