Answer:

A personification is a literary element used to give human attributes to non-human things. In "A Caged Bird" Maya Angelou writes, "The free bird thinks of another breeze  and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees". Winds don't sigh actually, but a personification gives it the human ability to sigh.

What does it mean when you see the label Brit. in a word’s dictionary entry?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The answer is indeed letter C. The word is used mainly in Great Britain, not in the United States.

Explanation:

<em>Brit and US</em> are geographical labels found in dictionary entries. They come in parentheses and are used to indicate where that word is mostly used. Thus, if the label Brit comes after a word, it means it occurs typically in British English - that may include other varieties, such as Australian English -, but not in American English. An example would be the informal word "bevvy", which refers to an alcoholic beverage. In a dictionary entry, we could find bevvy (Brit).

Geographical labels are also used to indicate that a certain way to spell a word belongs to one of the varieties of English as well. For example, the color gray has different spellings according to where it is used. Thus, we would find grey (Brit.) and gray (US) in a dictionary entry.

Exercise6 help me guys.
Helga [31]
1. Likely a vet - as they take care of animals, especially those in pain.
2. Vague, but maybe a travel journalist as they are required to move around to learn more.
3. Architect - work on designing buildings, which fits the criteria.
4. Likely a lawyer because they are easier for rich clients to get, and they are of course in court fighting for their clients.
