Our mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations. One of the most serious thre

ats to our mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. Also, they adversely affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year. Who wants to drive to the mountains to see not the lovely tree-covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree cover between them? With tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued economic success here.
Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and threatens our area’s top industry, it also harms the environment. Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on steep slopes. Large housing developments on ridges often increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers.

Please I want help in this​
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Hey,

So The other day I went to the mall and as I was walking into the clothes store, I ran into someone. As we began to talk, we had a lot in common and they were pretty funny. They have a really good personality, too. We talked and joked around a little bit and I think that you would like them as well. We exchanged numbers before they left the store. You are really funny and really sweet and I think that you guys would get along because you both have a lot in common. We are all also closely related in age and in the same grade, so we can all relate to a lot of things. Maybe we can all go hang out somewhere some time. what do you think?

Read the excerpt from part two of Trifles.
Afina-wow [57]
In this play, the attorney is trying to find out what happened to Mr. Wright and how he died (apparently strangled, but suspected murdered). Mrs. Peters finds the bird, that was supposed to be in the bird cage, strangled. She interprets this as the preparation to the killing of Mr. Wright and hides the bird in a box. The fact that the ladies in the scene have agreed to not disclose the contents of the box and continue to hide it, let us know that the best answer here is option C.

Twain loves the use of exaggeration and hyperbole. This love is very apparent in the friendship between Huck and Tom, two very d
Masja [62]

In the book "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" author Mark Twain makes use of exaggeration and hyperbole to create greater emotion in the text, such as:

  • They had been friends for centuries.
  • They cried rivers of tears.
  • Friends died laughing at the joke they heard.
<h3 /><h3>What is a hyperbole?</h3>

It corresponds to a figure of speech that conveys exaggerated ideas, that is, it is a resource widely used in literature to generate greater emotion and textual expression, through words that convey intensity.

Therefore, the author uses the hyperbole as a resource that generates greater intentional expressiveness to the text.
