Assuming the original sentence is <span><em>As a child, Maria Mitchell studied astronomy with her father William Mitchell, an amateur astronomer</em>, the correct answer here is William Mitchell. 
An appositive phrase is used to further describe a particular noun next to it, and is usually separated from the rest of the sentence using commas, as is the case here. The appositive phrase <em>an amateur astronomer </em>refers to the father, William Mitchell.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:1. they'll flock in droves

2. I'm a made man forever

Explanation:

I could not find the excerpt that is missing in your question but I have found the possible answers to it.

  • ''The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is published in 1893. year and it is a short story located in Victorian London written by Mark Twain.
  • Hyperbole is a rhetorical device that can be used in poetry and oratory where it can create strong feelings and impressions. The main key that is representing a hyperbole in these two sentences is '' droves'' and ''forever''.

The meaning of hyperbole is not taken literally in many texts because of its meaning that often sounds bigger and better than it actually is.

Imagine that you were asked to write and deliver a speech at Hamlet's funeral. 5 senteces
elena55 [62]
The end of Hamlet's life held one purpose: to his father's murder. Unfortunately, this vengeance also cost him his own life, as well as the lives of Ophelia, Polonius, Laertes, and his mother Gertrude. We must try to remember Hamlet as he was before his father's death: a diligent student and a leader of his people. Towards the end, as a sickness began to consume him, he lost some of the presence he once had, but he never lost the support of his people. We can all take comfort in the fact the struggles in his mind are now at an end.
