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

English
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 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.

Which word best identifies the conjunctive adverb in the sentence?
Vinvika [58]

      Furthermore (c) best identifies the conjunctive adverb  in the sentence.

      <u> Explanation</u>

  • Conjunctions are basically those words which joins one sentence with the other part of the same sentence or in other words we can call it joining words, however, when an adverb joins one sentence with the other part of the same sentence that becomes  conjunctive adverb.
  • Conjunctive adverb joins two clauses, parts of the same sentence to give it a proper meaning. It is also called adverbial conjunction or subordinating conjunction examples include, therefore, furthermore, thus, however, finally, meanwhile, nevertheless, still  and so on.
  • In the given sentence, Its not fair to expect her to do all of the work; she doesn't have time for it! , the word furthermore is the conjunctive adverb since it is connecting the first part of the sentence  with the  second part of the sentence i.e, the clause with the usage of the word "furthermore". It needs to remembered that  semi- colon should be added before the usage of  conjunctive adverbs.The other options don't fit in and are suitable to be considered as conjunctive adverb in the sentence. Doesn't is not a conjunctive adverb because its only  contracted form of does and not which gives doesn't. Fair is also not  conjunctive adverb since the word fair is  simple adjective. Option D which is expect is also not  correct  because its a verb and hence cannot be categorized under conjunctive adverb.
