Answer:
Metaphor
Explanation:
A metaphor is defined as "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This means that saying "She *IS* a typing machine" is a metaphor because it is simply not literally possible. The word "is" will be your hint that a sentence like this is a metaphor and not a simile. A simile usually has the keyword "like" in the sentence (For example: She was *like* a typing machine."
The main difference is that a metaphor claims that two things are the same while a simile claims two things are similar (you can remember this by the "simil" in both of these words!).
Answer:
The answer is D. audience gave a well-deserved.
Explanation:
Audiences normally <em>give </em>and not <em>receive </em>applauses, so this is the error in the sentence, which allows us to eliminate the other which don't have a "gave" for verb, which basically are options: A, C and E.
Why isn't B? Well, because our rule about hyphens in adjectives, tells us that if the adjective goes before the noun, it should be hyphenated. But, if the adjective goes after, then it should not. In this case, our noun is "applause" and as you can see it goes after the "well-deserved" adjective, so this is the reason why it's hyphenated. Other story would be if it said: <em>the round of applause was well deserved (</em>no hyphen, as it goes after).
