Maureen described the small and tattered tent that she put up as an imperial

English
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Yes.  Maureen is exaggerating in this instance.

She equates the "small and tattered tent" to "an imperial structure."  This is not true on the surface.  But, the intended meaning is brought out by the literary device known as exaggeration.

Explanation:

Exaggeration is the description of something by making it look or sound more than it really is.  For example, if you say that Josephine killed the mosquito with a sledge hammer, it is an exaggeration.  Exaggeration is a figure of speech.  It is one of the literary devices employed by good authors to make meanings clearer than they would appear otherwise.

interpret the analogy. misery:depression::_____:pleasure fatigue melancholy boredom sadness enjoyment
katen-ka-za [31]
Since misery and depression are both sad/bad kinds of feelings, then we have to find a pair of words that have the same kind of feeling in order to complete this analogy. The correct answer should be melancholy and boredom.
