Sentence one is the topic sentence because it tells you what the paragraph is about.
Answer:
I think the answer is to persuade.
might be to inform as well.
Explanation:
I think it is to persuade because the author asks the question "why should a car be any different?" as to let the readers imagination run with it.
I also think it may be to inform because the author says "driving while talking on the phone is dangerous" so the author could be saying I don't think its a good idea to have a phone in the car and this is why.
I could be wrong but that is what I think
Answer:
The figurative language used in this sentence is: oxymoron.
Explanation:
By definition, a crowd is the gathering of a large number of people. However, in the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker says there was a "small crowd". The two words have, therefore, opposite meanings - a "small large number of people," so to speak.
This is an example of oxymoron, a type of figurative language that puts together two words with opposite meanings. In context, however, the words can be understood. Although crowds are made up of a large number of people, some crowds can have many more people than others. Thus, the idea of a small crowd is understandable.
