The following statements are the key ideas from the article about Barry Bonds:
<u>- No players were chosen for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013.</u>
- People disagree about whether baseball players accused of using
<u>performance-enhancing drugs should join the Hall of Fame.</u>
<u>Explanation</u>:
The given article discusses about the drug allegation in Major League Baseball and the accusation against the athletes.
The players who are suspected for consumption of the drugs were not chosen for the Hall of Fame. The voters were not able to select the players suspected of doping. The disagreement by the people for the doping issue is supported by the author.
The article mentions that some of the drugs have medical uses. But this was not the key idea of the article. It is shown that the athletes have used the drugs without prescriptions which are illegal.
c. metaphorIn the above passage, the figurative language that exists is
in the form of the following words: “starless
midnight of racism and war.” We know the
figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the
words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not
personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human
things, and this is not occurring here.
We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a
hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an
exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude
that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons
that are not literally applicable. That
said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war,
it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
