Answer: B) Metaphor
Explanation: A metaphor can be simply defined as a figure of speech that compares actions or words that are not literally related but might share similar characteristics. It gives a hidden meaning or representation.
"The road to the mountains was a ribbon of moonlight",
The "road" and the "ribbons of moonlight" are literally unrelated because roads are neither ribbons nor ribbons of moonlight.
"Ribbons of moonlight" is only meant to give a hidden meaning or representation of the characteristic or nature of the road to the mountains.
So "Ribbons of moonlight" is a metaphor.
It means chief, or princapal
Answer:
The conflict between the fact that this is so obvious and the fact they didnt think about it
I found the three words and the choices from another source and these are:
<span>BOLDED WORDS:
singular
approbation
mercenary
CHOICES:
strange
beautiful
shouting
praise
faithful
flattering
punishment
1. Singular - singular, as used in the context, simply means that the design is something remarkable and extraordinary. Since there is no exact word relating to that, we just have to find the closest word with almost the same context. The closest word that we can find among the choices is beautiful.
2. Approbation - approbation is a noun that means approval and acceptance. It denotes all kinds of positive agreement to what the term is referring to. By examining the list of words available, we can find that praise has the nearest meaning to this definition thus this will be the answer.
3. Mercenary - mercenary, by its very definition, is a soldier hired into service for a foreign army. In the context of the passage, however, mercenary is used as a term to denote the faithfulness of the admirers. Like an actual mercenary, the admirers in the passage are loyal. Therefore, the answer for this item is faithful.</span>
