Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

Figurataive language is word, group of words or phrase which does not depict its literal meaning in the sentence. Figurative language is used by writers to make their literary work more attractive and interesting.

Metaphor is a type of figurative language in words are used to one object with other to depict similarity in them. Here metaphor does not depict the literal meaning but expresses the abstract idea about the object in consideration.  

Example : Hercules is a human beast.  

Here beast is used as metaphor. It does not mean that Hercules is beast but he possesses power and strength which is much similar to beast.

Similarly, in the sentence mentioned in the problem statement, Sahara desert is referred as sandy oasis. Here oasis is metaphor. It expresses the idea that Sahara desert has features similar to that of oasis.

The sentence means to say  that just as oasis is a semi-desert area which can be cultivated and is habitat for certain kind of animals and plants. Similarly in Sahara desert natural habitat of plants and animal persist.

¿Que política importante condujo a la caída del dinastía Ming?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

La caída de la dinastía Ming fue causada por una combinación de factores, incluido un desastre económico debido a la falta de plata, una serie de desastres naturales, levantamientos campesinos y finalmente ataques del pueblo manchú.

Explanation:

La dinastía Ming fue la dinastía gobernante de China durante 276 años (1368–1644) tras el colapso de la dinastía Yuan dirigida por los mongoles.

Las explicaciones para la desaparición del Yuan incluyen la discriminación étnica institucionalizada contra los chinos Han que provocó resentimiento y rebelión, sobrecarga de zonas afectadas por la inflación e inundaciones masivas del río Amarillo causadas por el abandono de proyectos de riego.

Estos problemas llevaron a una revuelta popular llamada la Rebelión del Turbante Rojo, dirigida en parte por un campesino llamado Zhu Yuanzhang.

Con la dinastía Yuan derrumbándose, los grupos rebeldes en competencia comenzaron a luchar por el control del país y, por lo tanto, por el derecho a establecer una nueva dinastía, lo que Zhu hizo en 1368 después de derrotar a sus rivales en la batalla naval más grande de la historia y marchar hacia Beijing, la capital de el Yuan, haciendo que los líderes de Yuan huyan.
