Answer:
The sentence which uses figurative language to make its point is:
If all of the stories were strung together, they would form a chain as long as the highway on which the Dust Bowl migrants traveled.
Explanation:
Figurative language consists in using words in a way that gives them meanings beyond the one(s) they originally and literally have. The purpose is to convey a message, an opinion, a feeling, etc. in a more colorful, touching, or persuasive manner. Examples of figurative language are: metaphors, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, simile, etc.
<u>In the sentence we are analyzing here, the author uses figurative language by comparing the stories to a long chain. The purpose is to vividly represent how large the number of stories is. Of course, it is literally impossible to string stories together, but that is precisely what figurative language does. It creates a mental image that is often fantastic, but that efficiently conveys a sensation or idea.</u>
Answer:
Greek men often consulted the help of an <u><em>oracle</em></u> when trying to understand the wishes of a god or goddess.
Explanation:
An oracle is a priest or priestess who would be the medium through which ancient Greeks communicate with their gods and goddesses. These oracles are like the priests of modern days who would act as the intermediary between men and gods.
Oracles are a huge part of Greek society and life. Kings would consult with such oracles for each and every endeavor, be it war or marriage or business plans. One such oracle was the Oracle of Delphi, of the Delphi temple.
Answer:
Instead of using a common noun like "dog" as the indirect object, we can use a gerund, which functions as a noun. Example: "Charles gave running the marathon his best shot." Here, "his best shot" is the direct object, so "running" is the indirect object and a gerund.
