English

13) The skies were still blue, but a heavy cloud began to engulf George as he saw Papa coming slowly down the path. A strange feeling developed in his stomach. Now George realized what he had done. How would he face Papa? George's sensitive conscience was already hurting. In all the glory of this day, he had left a job undone and disobeyed his father. What would Papa do?

The word in this paragraph that means to swallow up is 'engulf'. In this context it means that George is overwhelmed by how he feels, his feelings of guilt are swallowing him up, they are taking over and are all he can feel. Engulf means to be completely surrounded, immersed by something that you can't control.

Pie

Answer:

Pour on lotion

Rub it in

Perfect for

My summer skin.

On the bike

Or in the pool,

A sip of water

To keeps me cool

    OR

The familiar rhythm of the cricket's chirps

Create the soundtrack for each day,

Echoing Summer's end

And that Autumn's on her way.

The stifling heat of the summer sun

Is now tempered by the clouds.

Those fluffy, cotton August clouds,

That soft breezes push about.

Shadows falling everywhere

As the sun plays peek-a-boo.

Losing her strength with each new day,

A sure sign that Summer is through.

As the lazy, care-free summer days,

Reluctantly draw to an end.

Excitement grows for what's ahead,

As school days and the Fall begin.

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

British philosopher George Berkeley believed in immaterialism, which rejects the existence of physical matter and considers that material objects are only ideas of those who perceive them. In the quotation, he believes that it is impossible to know whether there are things outside the mind. In that matter, he maintains that there exists the same evidence now for thinking that there are things outside the mind, and that same evidence would also exist if there were no things outside the mind.

What type of person was the king in the three questions
mamaluj [8]

Answer:
So much can be read into the fact that the king is "semi-barbaric". He does know right from wrong, but he chooses to ignore it and go with with whatever he fancies. In a sense, this makes him, perhaps, the worse kind of character. He does, in fact, know that his ways are evil and subject to incorrect chance, but he does not care. He sees his method as a perfect fifty percent to fifty percent, so according to him, it is fair.
Still, he has to know that this is a less than perfect system--in fact, it is a complete fallacy.
When we think about it, this may make him the most despicable and contemptible of characters. He goes against whatever conscience he may have

Why would an author choose to use figurative language?
sergij07 [2.7K]

Certain literary devices such as similes, metaphors, and personification can help create word pictures for the reader. When persuasive writers use figurative language, they are more likely to engage their readers and make their argument more relevant and convincing.
