English

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.

I think the correct answer is: They are both willing to risk their lives.  

If we understand the word "willing" as ready to do something, this means they both are ready to risk their lives. We could think that the correct answer is "They are both helpless and weak" but in the first excerpt although he seems weak, he has been able to get food for his family and escape from the gamekeepers, even hitting them with the slingshot.

What they have in common is that although they are concious that their actions can kill them they are determined to do them. In the first excerpt hunting in the woods is forbidden and if someone gets caught doing it he would be "even killed". The kid has no option but to risk his life to get some food:  "but my family had to eat one way or another."

The second excerpt refers to a pirate's slave, he has a miserable life and it could get worse. He is determined to scape or die trying, we can see that he has nothing else to loose, "I would rather die than spend another minute on that ship."

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Slaughterhouses are used for meat production, otherwise known as butchery.

Explanation:

Returning an animal to a previous owner is unlikely given the purpose of slaughterhouses. Those who work in slaughterhouses make their living from butchering animals, which they typically pay money for. Returning an animal would be losing profits, both from the initial investment and the future retail.
