Which of the following sentences uses an idiom to show that Stella is avoiding a topic?

1 answer:

4 0

The answer is C.) Stella started to beat around the bush.

The first thing we need to realize is what an idiom is. An idiom is a group of words that symbolize a meaning not otherwise implied by the actual words that are expressed. That might not have made sense, so here are some examples of idioms:

raining cats and dogs (raining hard, not actual cats and dogs)

bought the farm (refers to someone dying, not buying a literal farm)

That being said, when we say someone is beating around the bush, they are avoiding having to do or say something, which is what we're looking for. So, the third option, C, is our answer

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing rest of your weekend and feel free to let me know if you need any further help! :D

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

- Subject.

Explanation:

Organizing is one of the crucial elements to produce an effective essay as it arranges the thoughts and information in a structured manner. Note cards are most commonly employed to organize the paragraphs. The process begins with titling the 'subject or topic' on separate cards along with its description/notes and separate them in groups as per the topic and length of the paper. It helps in giving a concise and compact form to the ideas in a systematic and more presentable manner with highlighting each point sharply that offers a comprehensive meaning and understanding to the essay/paper. Thus, 'subject' is the answer.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

If the speaker had a different point of view, the description that could be in the poem is:

Her light shines on me through my window.

Explanation:

In the original poem, the speaker is using a third-person perspective. That means he talks of the moon and the animals, but does not mention himself at all. If he had a different point of view, it would be a first-person perspective. In that case, he would use first-person pronouns, mentioning himself in the poem. Among the options given, the only one that uses first-person pronouns is: Her light shines on me through my window. For that reason, this is the option that represents a different point of view.
