The lines that contain metaphors are:


1)“My thoughts of you are golden coins”


2) “Stamped in the mint of memory”


A metaphor is a literary device that makes an implicit comparison between unrelated items or ideas. Despite of the fact that they seem to differ in many respects, there is a hidden connection between them. It differs from others figures of speech; namely Simile as it refers to an explicit comparison (use of “like” or “as”) that is established between to ideas or items.

In this particular poem, the author says that her thought is a very valuable treasure to her, especially because they are related to a special person to her. For this reason, the author makes a comparison between her thoughts and the treasured golden coins. Then, she continues adding another metaphor. She says that these precious memories will never disappear as they kept in her memory as golden coins are safe and properly stored in a mint.

which story premise is most clearly a classic tragedy? a)over the course of mia's life, one unlucky thing after another happens
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

c) a sorcerer's mad quest for power ends up destroying him in the end

Explanation:

Classical tragedies are the tragedies that had the origin of the Ancient Greeks. It is considered one of the oldest genres of drama. Tragedy defines a mis-happening or a misfortune that is focused on a written form of art. Classical tragedies had two important characteristics. One is Hamartia which is referred to as the tragic flaw of the hero which forms the reason for his downfall. The other is Peripeteia which is referred to as the reversal of the fortune of the hero.

The story premise of the option (c) clearly states it to be a classic tragedy. The sorcerer's madness behind power forms the path for the Hamartia while his destruction at the end forms the path for Peripeteia.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

1. Obliterate

2. Old

3. Cleft

4. Decadent

5. Tear

6. Clamorous

Explanation:

1. To annihilate is to destroy something, kill completely.  To Annihilate is to get rid of something completely. For example: genocide has the purpose to annihilate (get rid of) human beings who are different, belong to a certain religion or sect.  It came from the Late Latin word: "annihilatus" meaning "reduced to nothing", While obliterate means to in Latin to: "struck out", meaning "Trying something with multiple attempt but fail". Anihialate is the action of destroying completely, while obliterate is the action to attempt in annihilation, but, failing multiple times. [Have to try till you get rid of]

Even so, people who are not religious can also have these morals and look bad upon children who are a "bas-ta-rd", a child that was produced out of wed-lock. While decadent is someone who shows a decline in morals, the person is aware of the morals but they themselves "choose" to decline the moral and cultural norms and rules. For example: The U.S prohibits marriage of two or more people. Those who do it disobey the law.

5. Rending is to tear something into two or more pieces. Rending is not done in force, you can tear a piece of paper calmly. To tear is to rip something with force, for example: "He tore with his teeth the flesh upon her skin into two pieces".

6. Tumultuous is to make a loud and confusing noise while clamorous is a racket, its a noise made to be heard or to cause confusion. In Latin it means to "cry out".

<span>1) theme is the main idea or the message conveyed through a work. So a synonym for theme is plot message.
 2) Each refers to a singular noun. So the following verb and pronoun must also be singular. The correct pronoun to be used in the blank space is his. 3)Possessive case indicates possession whereas nominative case just refers to the name. In the above sentence, the umbrella belongs to someone or someone possesses the umbrella. So both yours and mine are in the possessive case.</span>
