Answer: The sentences in which the underlined verb does not agree with its subject are:

1- A. Everyone in max's family (like) to do jigsaw puzzles.

2- C.  Peter's favorite breakfast (are) pancakes and syrup.

3- A. There (is) volunteer jobs available at the museum.

4- B. (Is) there any seats still available.

Explanation: A verb that does not agree with its subject is a verb that has a singular form when its subject has a plural form or viceversa. In sentence 1) A., <u>the verb "like" does not agree in number with its subject "everyone", which demands a singular verb.</u> Similarly, in 2) C.<u> the verb is plural ("are") whereas the subject ("Peter's favorite breakfast") is singular. </u> Moreover, in 3) A.,<u> the singular verb "is" does not agree with the plural subject "volunteer jobs" </u>either. Finally, the verb in 4)B.<u> should have been "are" in order to agree</u> in number <u>with the plural subject "seats"</u>.

The feature detectors identified by Hubel and Wiesel respond to specific aspects of ________ stimulation.
mojhsa [17]

The feature detectors identified by hubel and wiesel respond to specific aspects of visual stimulation.

The answer is visual because with that stimulation they tried to find out the effect of unilateral vision on the primary visual cortex of the brain. According to the work done, it was suggested that if the developing brain is not exposed to superimposed images of the two eyes, it will never form the connections you need to process a three-dimensional scene. The purpose of the experiment was to find out how the brain can develop complex visual images.

Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u><em>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</em></u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<em><u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u></em>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u><em>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</em></u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u><em>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</em></u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<em><u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u></em>

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

<u><em>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".</em></u>

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.  

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u>

<u>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as". </u>
