Answer:

"These old bones live to learn her wanton ways:"

Explanation:

Metonymy is the substitution of one word for another, when between them there is a relation of proximity of senses that allows this exchange. Ex .: The stadium applauded the player.

Metonymy is a figure of language that arises from the need for the speaker or writer to put more emphasis on communication. In the excerpt shown in the question, metomnia is seen in the "These old bones live to learn her wanton ways" phase where the expression "old bones" represents the word "body".

Write a speech about a <br> think is important​
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Hey mate......

Explanation:

This is ur answer......

<em>Most people consider their own mental processes to be what thinking is, without ever considering the nature of the activity and without ever questioning the effectiveness of their particular methods. Modern schooling practices discourage critical thinking by their very nature (e.g. multiple-choice testing) and leave young people without this most crucial of acquired life skills. Much of the mental activity most people indulge in is counterproductive and unworthy of the term ‘thinking’. Thinking is an important mental process. It helps us to define and organise experiences, plan, learn, reflect and create. But sometimes our thinking may for a variety of reasons become unhelpful and this has a negative impact on our well being.</em>
