Answer:

Staging area, supply air lock, hot zone

Explanation:

All of these words can be encountered in the following passage from <em>The Hot Zone </em>by Richard Preston:

They closed up their suits and lumbered across the staging area to a large air-lock door. This was a supply air lock. It did not lead into the hot zone. It led to the outside world. They opened it. On the floor of the air lock sat the seven garbage bags.

The term<em> jargon</em> refers to words and phrases used by a specific group of people that may be difficult to understand to those who do not belong to the said group. It is used in a particular communicative context, which is usually a certain occupation, but any ingroup can have its own jargon. The purpose of jargon is to increase the efficiency of communication between people involved in the same field or group.

In the given passage, the examples of jargon are words <em>staging area, supply air lock, </em>and <em>hot zone.</em><em> </em>When we read this isolated passage, it may be difficult to completely understand its meaning and visualize the described scene, as we may not know what these words mean in the given context. Words <em>outside world </em>and <em>garbage bags</em> are commonly used by everyone, so they do not belong to jargon.

There are 12 signs of figurative language. Please help I will give you a thanks
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1. Onomatopoeia → The egg cracked open on the edge of the forest green dish, and the contents <u><em>sizzled</em></u> when they hit the red-hot pan.

2. Alliteration → George wanted to show Bonnie how much he loved her with breakfast in bed on her birthday.

3. Simile → He slid the spatula under the pancake on the other burner and flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

4. Personification → Shortly after, the bagel jumped up out of the toaster,...

5. Oxymoron → The sweet bitter cranberry juice poured into a glass was final touch.,

6. Metaphor →  George was no chef, but he thought it looked awfully good.

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia is known to be the formation of a word by using a sound that is associated with what it is named. e.g sizzled

Alliteration is the use of the same letter to begin words in a sentence. In this paragraph, we see alliteration used in: Bonnie...breakfast...bed...birthday

Oxymoron is known to be a figure of speech which seems contradictory e.g bitter sweet.

Personification is the figure of speech where human characteristics are given to inanimate object. e.g the bagel jumped.

Simile has to do with the comparison of two things using <em>as</em> or <em>like. </em><em>e.g:</em><em> ...</em>flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

Metaphor is a figure of speech which compares two things in an indirect way without the use of <em>as</em> or<em> like</em>. e.g: George was no chef,...

The rain how it fell; the cadaver smell
<span>My eyes transfixed on that pit of Hell, </span>
Vapid flesh foul, horrendously bland.
<span>But why this carnage, I don’t understand; </span>

Retching, gagging, holding back the bile.
<span>I turn from the evil to rest for a while, </span>
<span>From decomposing mothers, fathers and child; </span>
Satan’s work, merciless, callously wild.

<span>Laid out in graves grotesquely remorse, </span>
Lucifer’s carnage has taken its course
<span>In a dance of death, contorted and thin, </span>
Thousands of bodies, bound together by skin.

Now sixty years passed, will I ever forget.
<span>That day when in person, with Satan I met; </span>
He showed me firsthand his evil, his sin.
Flames of contempt still burn deep within.

<span>Wise men instruct us ‘we must never, forget’, </span>
<span>Upon the memory of them, ‘let the sun never set’; </span>
<span>For six million Jews paid the ultimate cost, </span>

pantera1 [17]

In Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" (1751), the speaker reflects on mortality and speculates about the accomplishments of the dead people buried in the churchyard. The poem is an elegy, that is, a lament for the dead.

First of all, the speaker thinks that one of the people buried might have been a good schoolar, or even a good leader for the nation. He also talks about another dead person, in the figure of an old farmer, that might have had a lot of potential to become a great poet.

Furthermore, he believes that death and poverty have saved some people from spreading evil in the world. In addition, the speaker assures that poor people and rich people are born with the same abilities; however, he admits that moral superiority is the only goal that village people have accomplished.
