The underlined word is <em><u>here</u></em>.

Answer:

<u>In this thirsty place</u>

Explanation:

The phrase Would anything ever grow here? gives the idea that the land is empty or lacking something important to allow plants to grow. To replace “here” with “in this thirsty place” is the most suitable choice because the word “thirsty” gives us the idea that the land is deficient in or lacking water and thus can not grow any plant. This option is also an example of personification because it gives a human attribute to a non-human thing: the place.

Answer: The correct personification to replace the statement above is "in this thirsty place"

Explanation: If anything is to grow in a land it must have the requirements for a plant to survive which are adequate nutrients, and abundant water. A land or place which is devoid of those attributes can be termed as thirsty.

The mirror changes into ____
Zina [86]

The correct answer is B. a lake, to suggest deeper meaning. The mirror as such is a metaphor of feminine frailty and insecurity; however, when it turns into a lake, it transcends that meaning and evolves into a metaphor of aging, time and change. It doesn't turn into a woman; it just shows the woman's transformation from a young girl into an old woman.

When an author uses the literal meaning of a word in the text they are<br><br> Please help
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Referring to the dictionary defenition of a word

Explanation:

This is because the author is using the word in a literal meaning and not in an expressional meaning like a poet does.

Example. The Main Character cannot break through the wall, Its pretty tough.

This is literal. The word " tough " is being used in its dictionary meaning since it means Hard.

Meanwhile a poet might use this as an expression of something else like

" He was heartbroken, the woman he loved had shattered his soul and it was a tough experience for him "

Tough is used as an emotional feeling of being broken down instead of its dictionary counterpart.

Hope it helped, sorry if Im wrong.
