A metaphore and simile are both be a comparison between two unlike things, however, a simile uses the words like or as to compare, rather than saying something is something. For example...

Simile:
She was as fast as a cheetah.

Metaphor:
She was a cheetah.

Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.

Explanation:

The second option from the given options is not plagiarised as it paraphrases the ideas presented in the paragraph and acknowledges the author i.e. 'Neil Postman' when it says 'Postman argues.' It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

What even my is foreshadowed by Macbeth’s aside in this scene? Act 1 scene 4
lord [1]

"The prince of Cumberland! That is a step

On which I must fall down, or else o'erleap,

For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires;

Let not light see my black and deep desires.

The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be

Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see."


The foreshadowing referenced within the aside is that Macbeth is talking about stepping over Malcolm or giving up. It's foreshadowing because Macbeth kill's Malcolm's father, Duncan.
