Answer:

C: a commonly used metaphor that has become part of ordinary language.

Explanation:

A  metaphor is a <em>figure of speech</em>  that compares two things by saying that one thing is another. A dead metaphor are those metaphors that, traditionally, have lost their force, but continue as <em>clichés</em>, or <em>everyday idioms</em>. For example: The <em>face</em> or <em>hand</em> of a watch no longer bring the comparison with parts of the human body.

I NEED HELP!!!
iren2701 [21]
Courage is something that cannot be analyzed or described in a dictionary, and it can only be shown when people overcome hindrances, challenges, and adversity. One such time I overcame adversity was learning how to play soccer efficiently and become good the sport. It took many days, months, and even a couple of years to score my team a win; in every game, I never got an opportunity to score a goal. However, I kept on trying, despite how others did not praise or encourage me. But one day, on a soccer game, I received the ball. I was very excited, but I knew I was going to let my team down. Still, I just remembered the effort and diligence I put into practice. I decided to kick the ball and hope for it to make it in the goal. I strategically kicked, but immediately looked away from the goal because I had a feeling it would not make it. I walked oppositely from the goal, and a moment later, I was picked up by my fellow players. I was confused, and I asked them what had happened. They were all happy to say that I finally scored a win for the team. All in all, there have been many times when I have overcome adversity and other hindrances, but this is one challenge or adversity that stands out from the rest.

5. How do viruses spread throughout<br> the human body?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

An infected person sneezes, coughs, etc. near you. You inhale the virus particle, and it attaches to cells lining the sinuses in your nose. The virus attacks the cells lining the sinuses and rapidly reproduces new viruses. The host cells break, and new viruses spread into your bloodstream and also into your lungs.
