Answer:

The type of language dominant is this passage is D. figurative.

Explanation:

The term figurative language is used to describe the way writers employ words and phrases with meanings different from the original ones. There are several types or manners in which figurative language can be used. One of the most common ones is a simile, which is exactly what we have in the passage. A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".

“The poppies bobbed their heads like helmeted soldiers in formation.”

In the passage, the poppies are being compared to soldiers in formation. The purpose of such comparison is to attribute the characteristics of one element to the other. In this case, maybe the poppies were all aligned, moving in unison as the wind blew, just like soldiers are aligned and move in unison.

It's certainly sensory. And it's figurative too. I think I'd pick figurative because the central piece of language is a simile. That's pretty good use of language when you compare the bobbing heads of flowers to helmeted soldiers.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

how are you I heard that you just got involved in a fight in which you were harmed....

people nowadays have become so volatile I have such little tolerance that even a triple is enough to Ignite that temper Street Fights are becoming more and more frequent.

I came to know that when you were returning from school you had a quarrel with another boy because he was teasing you from long time.

just want to tell you that temper doesn't give us any solution. instead of fighting at that time if you would have kept and not fought with the other boy it would have not been led to this situation.

resolve it by other mean told you just lead to fight .

remember that violence never settles disputes but it definitely cause untold damage.

instead of using the strength use yours smartness

As we all know that PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN SWORD so follow it....

Hope you will soon recover

Yours lovingly,

XYZ

"lost in the woods" how does Tarshis describe the weather?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

In 'Lost in the Woods' Tarshis desribes weather by describing the atmosphere around, for instance, the weather was rainy which can be known through 'muddy trail.'

Explanation:

'Lost in the Woods' is a report of two kids who were lost in the woods in 2012.

The article was written by Lauren Tarshis. In her article, instead of directly describing the weather of woods, she describes the atmosphere of the woods.

The weather was rainy and dark. It can be known through 'muddy trail' on which volunteers were slipping over but it was Madee only who was sniffing around the muddy trail to locate the lost girls. When the girls were found, the weather described by Tarshis is dark, when she writes that the only light that shone in the forest were the headlamps that Madee and her owner, Greg, wore.
