Answer: Oxymoron: His honour rooted in dishonour stood, and faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. Metaphor: He was a gay dog, who didn't care what he spent. Onomatopoeia: Well, after a long time I heard the clock away off in the town go boom- boom- boom-twelve licks; and all still again-stiller than ever. Hyperbole: she was a curious woman, whose eresses always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest.

Explanation: oxymoron is a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction (faith unfaithful, falsely true). A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind (comparing a man to a dog). Onomatopoeia is the act of creating or using words that include sounds that are similar to the noises the words refer to (boom boom boom). A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement (always looked as if they had been designed in a rage and put on in a tempest).

brilliants [131]

What suggests the origins of "Cinderella, The Legend" is the fact that she had tiny feet what was considered of erotic significance in the Orient (ancient times). Hence, it could have been originated in Orient.

Anyway, her theory is uncertain because Cinderella, due to its popularity among boys and girs, is the fairy tale that has at least 345 documented variants and many more unrecorded versions.

According to the article, the author believes… Question 17 options: E-books are better than print books. E-books and print books
stiv31 [10]

Based on the information in the article, the author believes e-books are better than print books.

<h3>What is the article about?</h3>

The article makes a comparison between printed and e-books.

<h3>What is the positon of the author about this topic?</h3>

The author supports the idea e-books are better as he explains:

  • E-books are environmentally friendly.
  • E-books give you tips to read.
  • E-books save space.

Note: This question is incomplete because the article is not given; here is the complete question:

Question:

According to the article, the author believes_______

Options:

  • E-books are better than print books.
  • E-books and print books are both ecologically friendly.
  • Print books are better than e-books.
  • E-books and print books both have advantages and disadvantages, so most readers use both.

Article:

So now you know what an e-reader is. But you still may be wondering why they put printed books to shame. E-readers are superior to printed books because they save space, are environmentally friendly, and provide helpful reading tips and tools that printed books do not.

E-readers are superior to printed books because they save space. The average e-reader can store thousands of digital books, providing a veritable library at your fingertips. What is more, being the size and weight of a thin hardback, the e-reader itself is relatively petite. It is easy to hold and can fit in a pocketbook or briefcase easily. This makes handling ponderous behemoths such as War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and Les Misérables a breeze. Perhaps the only drawback to the space-saving aspect of an e-reader is that it requires you to find new things to put on your shelves.

Create a well-crafted essay of 1-2 pages outlining a likely theory of King Tutankhamun's death at the age of nineteen.
marta [7]

please mark me as brainliest and rate ,thank me please i begg you

Explanation:

The Theory of Hormheb

The king’s deputy, also known as Horemheb, may have also been responsible for the death of King Tut as well. The possibility that King Tut was getting older and probably ready to take powers into his own hands may have contributed to his early demise. For many years it was believed that Hormheb guided King Tut in his royal decisions as a child. As King Tut grew older and became more independent he started making his own decisions without the aid of Horemheb. This new thinking might have upset him and he quickly saw his power fading away. This independence that King Tut was attaining might have upset him and could been the reason as to why he killed King Tut.

Though Horemheb did not get the throne after King Tut’s death he did get it after Ay. Upon becoming the pharaoh he restored Egypt to its traditional tradition which was the worshiping of the many ancient gods. He moved his capital to Memphis and returned all the temples to their rightful priests. During his reign as pharaoh he removed any signs of Akhenaten’s religion.

By his actions, many Egyptologists and historians strongly assume that Horemheb wanted to restore Egypt to its traditional ways. Although, in hindsight, it appears that King Tut was also leaning in the direction of restoring Egypt to the more habitual ways before his death—it might not have been fast enough for Horemheb though.

 

Mohamed El-Saghir, head of Upper Egyptian Antiquities, believes that Horemheb could not have committed the murder of the pharaoh. Mohamed believes that because King Tut was restoring Egypt to its traditional ways, Horemheb would not have had any reason to kill him. He does find it interesting that Horemheb removed King Tut’s name from several items and replaced it with his. Even so, it’s still not enough evidence and most pharaohs always tried to outdo the pharaohs before them.
