Based on the given statement above, I can say that the type of comparison that is being shown is a SIMILE. A simile is a literary technique that compares two unlike objects with the use of the words "like" or "as...as". Apparently, this uses "as...as" in comparing "they" and "bark of a tree". Hope this helps.

<u>"Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree" is an example of which type of comparison</u>?  

- hyperbole

- metaphor

- oxymoron

- simile

<em>The comparison of the author's food to tree bark uses the word "as", making it a </em><em>simile</em><em>. A simile is a type of figurative language that expresses a comparison between two entities/things using comparison words/terms such as "like", "as", "resembles", and "than". Therefore, its meaning is figurative, not literal. The meaning of a simile will always depend upon the context of its use (expresses a figurative meaning that literal words do not).</em>

How does increasing the minimum wage help teenager and people struggling with jobs?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Increasing minimum wage helps people struggling by making the mandatory pay higher, allowing people to have more money.

Above is the answer whoever put out this question wants. But it would be good for you to know that it actually doesn't help people by increasing minimum wage. It increases the amount of money that companies must pay their workers, which sounds good until you realize that when put into practice, all this does is force companies to either go out of business or fire it's workers. If the minimum wage increases, it will lead to more people struggling. It will lead to more companies failing and more people going into poverty. But this is not the answer that is wanted.
