The use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand

English
1 answer:
raketka [301]3 years ago
8 0

This question is incomplete because the excerpt is missing; here is the excerpt:

In a smithy   one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze  plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam-  the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.

The answer to this question is D. How hot the spear actually is

Explanation:  

The purpose of the epic simile is to make an extensive comparison between two elements of ideas. This differs from regular simile because it uses many details or lines to make the comparison. In the excerpt presented, the author uses an epic simile to compare the actin of the spike entering the eye of the cyclops with the action of putting a hot metal in a cold tub through details such as "white-hot axehead... in a cold tub" or "that eyeball hissed around the spike". Moreover, the purpose of using this epic simile is to emphasize how hot the spike is, which allows the reader to imagine the reaction of the cyclops as the hot spike enters its eye.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Organs

Explanation:

The Organs which perform same function and looks but they are different in their structure from each other are called as analogous organs. Organs are the structures that made up of two or more tissues organized to carry out a particular function. An organ or bone that appears in different animals with same function is called homologous structure. Homologous organs have similar origin n basic structure but perform different functions in different organisms. Analogous organs are different in basic structure but perform same functions. Different animals have bones that appear very similar in form or function and seem to be related. Examples The arm of a human, the wing of a bird or a bat, the leg of a dog and the flipper of a dolphin or whale are homologous structures. They are different and have a different purpose, but they are similar sharing common traits. The forelimbs of all mammals have the same basic bone structure.The structures are similar because they evolved to do the same job. For example, the wings of bats and birds.
