Answer: B) “Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song”  C) “the ear that doth thy lays esteem”  and D) “gives thy pen both skill and argument”

Explanation: context clues are hints that an author gives to help the readers understand a difficult or unusual word within a sentence or paragraph. A Muse is a person who serves as a source of artistic inspiration (for writing, painting, etc). In the given lines from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100" the phrases that support the definition of Muse, are: "Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,” “the ear that doth thy lays esteem,” and “gives thy pen both skill and argument,” because they imply that the speaker is looking for inspiration to write.

what type of figurative language is It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. But I am sure that, if I had
Ann [662]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What type of figurative language is "It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler´s Germany. But I am sure that, if O had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal", would be, Allusion.

Explanation:

This particular excerpt comes from Martin Luther King´s "Letter from Brimigham Jail" when Dr. King is being accused of injustice in his attempt at aiding the cause for the Civil Rights Movement. The speech that is born from his time in jail, is probably one of the most literary-rich texts ever written, with a lot of figurative language having been used by Dr. King, in his attempt to sway people, and convince them to see, the righteousness of his cause. Figurative language is a technique in literature, and writing, that serves as a means to indirectly express a specific purpose, but through subtle, and sometimes hidden, symbols, words, images, or other such techniques. Figurative language seeks to engage the creative and interpretive mind of an audience or reader and to stimulate their capacity to feel moved by the messages being sent through the senses. In this excerpt, Dr. King uses a particular figurative language device called Allusion, which is literally a device in which the writer uses historical data, facts and stories, in order to convey a specific message to the audience. By mentioning Hitler, and Nazi Germany, Dr. King alludes to the American people to compare the two cases: the African American Civil Rights cause, and the situation of the Jews unjustly punished by the Nazis, and helps Americans to have a historical reference that will convince them of the need to support the Civil Rights cause.

"Fire distinguishes are generally colored redThis statement contains what aspect of language, speakers are asked to avoid?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The aspect of languages contained in the sentence which speakers must avoid is <em>Incorrect Grammar.</em>

Explanation:

The sentence reads -  "Fire<em><u> distinguishes</u></em> are generally colored red"

The correct sentence is - "Fire <em><u>extinguishers</u></em> are generally colored red"

Notice the error. The speaker says <em>distinguishers </em>instead of <em>extinguishers.</em>

The above is an example of grammatical error and must be avoided for sakes of clarity.

Cheers!

If you were the interviewee, how would you conduct yourself in a telephone vs. Face-to-face interview?
Nimfa-mama [501]
Don't smoke, chew gum, eat, or drink • Keep a glass of water handy in case your throat gets dry • Smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice • Know who’s on the line. If there are multiple interviewers, ask each one to identify himself or herself before posing questions • Speak slowly and enunciate clearly, use correct grammar and complete sentences • Sit upright or stand to ensure that your voice doesn’t sound too relaxed or nervous • Use the person's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name) • Don't interrupt the interviewer and ask them to repeat the question for clarity if necessary • Take your time when responding to difficult questions. It is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to collect your thoughts • Reaffirm your qualifications and end with a strong closing • Remember your goal is to set-up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer ask them what the next step will be
