Answer:

Ovid has a beautiful passage about Apollo holding the dying youth, desperately trying to use his skill with medicine to keep him alive. But even the mighty god of healing could not save the one he loved. In honor of his lover, Apollo makes a flower spring up from Hyacinthus' blood.

Answer:

The central line in "Apollo and Hyacinthus" is the concept of loving and losing.

Explanation:

Apollo and Hyacinthus is a Greek myth that talks about the loss of the loved one. That's because this myth tells the story of Apollo (son of Zeus) who fell head over heels in love with Hyacinthus (a mortal man). However, Hyacinthus was also coveted by other mortals.

One day Apolo and Hyacinthus, who were spending time together, decide to fight over playing discs for each other. However, Apollo, who is a God and therefore has a strength greater than human strength, throws the disc that hits the skull of Hyacinthus and kills him immediately, leaving Apollo in the greatest sadness and melancholy, for having lost the person he loved.

What is the most likely meaning of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.

Explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework;  it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.

A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."

An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.

Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.

MakcuM [25]
Original equation: 5c-4-2c+1=8c+2
The first thing you want to do is combine like terms:
3c-3=8c+2
Then. get the variable on its own side by subtracting the 3c from the left and subtracting the 2 from the right:
-5=5c
Divide both sides by 5 to get c by itself:
