The correct answer should be
Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;
Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,
Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom

Using like to compare something is a simile, which is why this should be one.

Answer: 1. Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom and 2. But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in the comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, it uses the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison. In the given excerpt from "The Odyssey" by Homer, there are two examples of simile, the first one is in the phrase "Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;  Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,  Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom" it compares Jove's daughter with a fair virgin. And the second one is "But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well" it compares the abilities of the speaker to the one of another person.

Ratling [72]

The literary device used in these lines is Personification.

The personification is a figure of speech in which a thing is given human attributes. The non-human objects are portrayed in such a way that we feel they have the capacity to act like human beings. This device makes the piece more interesting to read and makes it more sensitive to the reader.

The word “fat” often carries a negative connotation. Write a story or observation where something fat is celebrated.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

fat is celebrated when someone gets pregnant. this is because when you want to have a baby and do the things to get a baby whether its freezing an egg or doing the other thing, you get pregnant with a big belly to hold your baby so it can grow. with the belly growing bigger in the 9 months, you have a baby shower for the baby because you are pregnant. some may say ''fat''. but you get celebrated in a baby shower because your baby is in your stomach and they bring gifts for your baby before its born. the reason this is considered fat is because your baby is growing inside of you so your stomach swells up so it can help your baby grow and move around a little.fat is celebrated when you are pregnant .
