English

In this excerpt we identify the following figurative language: <em>“He trampled all over my feelings”</em>. Figurative language, or non-literal language, uses words in a way that changes the original, literal or conventionally accepted definition of a phrase. In other words, we can take a simple phrase and transform it into something more powerful and meaningful. 'Similes' and 'metaphors' are two of the most popular forms of figurative language. Similes, on the one hand, make comparisons using the words “like” and “as”. For example, <em>“She sings like an angel”</em>. Metaphors, on the other hand, make more complex and indirect comparisons as in the following example: <em>“Love is a battlefield”</em>.  

In the excerpt “He trampled all over my feelings”, the writer does not want to say that his feelings have been literally trampled or stamped by someone else, but that he feels devastated because his invitation to dance has been turned-down.

Read the paragraph. The question of whether or not to allow cell phones in school is an important one. Cell phones are a monumen
mash [69]

Answer:

Option C:- It does not maintain the same tone throughout.

Explanation:

In this paragraph, both advantages and disadvantages of cell phone are discussed. This paragraph deals with advantages and disadvantages both at the same time so it does not maintain a constant tone throughout the paragraph. Disadvantage of cell phone is that it distracts the young people whose focus should be on education. Also it states about the advantages of cell phone like it helps the students to connect with their parents. Further it also helps in taking pictures with friends. Thus it talks about both advantages and disadvantages simultaneously, not maintaining the same tone throughout.
