Pretty sure its a simile. It cant be personification because it says “he” which refers to a living and breathing human. I don’t think it would be a hyperbole because hyperboles are an over exaggerated description. It doesn’t use like or as, so i would say in this case simile.

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device in which an author makes an implicit comparison between two unrelated things that share a common characteristic. In this example, the author compares a dead person and a stone. Most likely, the comparison refers to the immobility and the lifelessness that both present.

Answer:

It assumes that the police policy was the cause of the drop in crime.

Explanation:

In the passage, the speaker does not mention any other causes which may have lead to the reduction of crime in New York City, such as a rise in employment, education and better quality of life. As a consequence, the speaker takes for granted that the only reason for the decrease of the crime rate is the stop-and-frisk policy, which he or she believes should be continued.

s2008m [1.1K]

The following statements are the key ideas from the article about Barry Bonds:

<u>- No players were chosen for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2013.</u>

- People disagree about whether baseball players accused of using

<u>performance-enhancing drugs should join the Hall of Fame.</u>

<u>Explanation</u>:

The given article discusses about the drug allegation in Major League Baseball and the accusation against the athletes.

The players who are suspected for consumption of the drugs were not chosen for the Hall of Fame. The voters were not able to select the players suspected of doping. The disagreement by the people for the doping issue is supported by the author.

The article mentions that some of the drugs have medical uses. But this was not the key idea of the article. It is shown that the athletes have used the drugs without prescriptions which are illegal.
