The best answer is A-the author uses personification
The correct answer is B: That lizard's eyes were small and shiny. All other options are wrong because the noun was turned into its plural form "lizards," which can't be used with the singular adjective "that." In addition, option C lacks a possessive form and option D includes an "s" after the apostrophe, which should not be used with nouns ending in s.
The correct answer is A. Hannah Teter has won medals in several Olympic games: 2003 Aspen, 2006 Turin, and 2010 Vancouver
Explanation:
In grammar, the colon (:) is mostly used to introduce a list or set of elements that explain a previous sentence. This means the colon should be placed right before the elements it introduces and besides this, it can only be included if the previous sentence is independent. According to this, in the sentence "Hannah Teter has won medals in several Olympic games: 2003 Aspen, 2006 Turin, and 2010 Vancouver" the colon should be placed after the word "games" and before "2003 Aspen" because "2003 Aspen, 2006 Turin, and 2010 Vancouver" is the list of items that explain the Olympic games Hannah Teter participated in, also by placing the colon in this position the first sentence is complete and independent.
<span>The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.</span>
