Answer:

D. hyperbole

Explanation:

Let us briefly define all the given answers.

Metaphor is a type of comparison, where the features and qualities of one thing are expressed through another familiar thing.

Onomatopoeia is a word formed from the sound it makes (splash, bam, bang).

Oxymoron is a combination of contradictory words that sound paradoxically (an open secret).

Hyperbole is a literary device that uses exaggeration to emphasize a message.

In the given example, it is obvious that the narrator didn't walk a million miles, but uses the exaggeration to show that the road to get there was as hard as if he really walked a million miles.

Question 6 of 15
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

A and D both capitalize words incorrectly ("west" and "president" are regular nouns that do not require capitalization).

C seems to be proper, as the name of the author and the name of the book (not counting the word "in") is capitalized. However, the lack of punctuation is suspicious (since the book's name ought to be in quotes and italicized). In addition, it ought to read "she HAD loved" - I believe it's a grammatical error to omit it.

B Is properly capitalized, as the name/title of the queen and the first word of the sentence is capitalized.

I'd go with B. Let us know which answer ends up being the right one if it isn't B

How does Thoreau’s use of rhetorical questions contribute to the persuasiveness and message in “Excerpt from ‘Civil Disobedience
ella [17]

Answer:

Thoreau's usage of several rhetorical questions upon one another helps eloquently establish a rhythm to present similar, but different argumentative key points. Moreover, it gives a rhythm to the text right off the start. Ultimately, it enables him to set up his argument against morals and values that he claims are being controlled by the government, and as well setting an argument for individualism.

Explanation:

The author does not make many direct statements; however, he does use the device of rhetorical questions that are meant to not be answered by neither the reader nor the text.
