English
1 answer:
posledela3 years ago
7 0

The excerpt from Homer’s Iliad which contains an epic simile is:

“As wasps, provoked by children in their play,

Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,

In swarms, the guiltless engage,

Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveler”

The simile in the above excerpt is 'like a swarm of bees.' A simile is a direct comparison between two things. It compares two things by using ‘as’ or ‘like.’ A simile is the figure of speech which directly compares two things which have some features common in them. In the above excerpt, the number of people has been compared with the swarm of bees.

Rewrite the sentence in passive voice b) The department will conduct a programme on republic day
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.

Explanation:

In grammar, the term <em>voice </em>refers to the relationship between the action expressed by the verb and the participants of the described event (the subject and object). In English, there are two types of voice:

  • Active voice - the subject acts upon the verb.
  • Passive voice - the subject is the recipient of the action expressed by the verb.

In order to turn the given sentence into a passive one, we need to make its object the subject. The object is <em>a programme</em>.

The subject is <em>the department</em><em>.</em> In passive voice, the subject becomes the object of the preposition<em> by</em>.

The verb needs to be changed as well. The tense remains the same, but it needs to contain the past participle.

This is how we'll get the following sentence:

  • A programme will be conducted by the department on Republic Day.
