Answer: D) humorous exaggeration.

Explanation: A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement. An hyperbole is often a humorous exaggeration. In the given claim from "To His Coy Mistress" we can see an example of a humorous exaggeration, because we know that it isn't possible for the speaker to spend "an age at least" adoring every part of his beloved.

Which word from list 1 best completes this analogy laboratory:campus
ioda

The correct answer is C. Faculty

Explanation:

An analogy is a correspondence or comparison between one element or set of elements and another which in most cases aimed at showing the similarities between the elements that compose the analogy. This means an analogy occurs when two elements relate in the same way or the characteristics of an element are transferred to another. In the case of the example presented in the question "laboratory:campus" it suggests the laboratory belongs to the campus, is part of the campus or can be found in the campus, which means the second analogy should accomplish the same feature of belonging, being part or being found to create a correspondence or similarity between both elements. Because of this the best option that completes the analogy is "professor: faculty" as in the same way of "laboratory: campus" the professor somehow belongs to the campus, can be found there or is part of the campus in terms of staff, this means in this way both elements "professor: faculty" and "laboratory: campus" express the same relationship and therefore there is a correspondence or analogy.

a_sh-v [17]
The central idea of the fourth paragraph of Of Plymouth Plantation is that the ship was unable to sail to Hudson's River, so it returned to Cape Cod instead.
The pilgrims wanted to go elsewhere, but couldn't pass through this river, which is why they had to return to Cape Cod and start their settlement there. It is the first location in America where they settled, after which the immigration into America slowly started.
