It is awfully erotic.

The two are both similes. The like in both cases marks a simile. I wish hyperbole was there. I'd choose that.

Answer:

<u>d) simile</u>

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that aims to make writings and speeches more colorful and memorable by comparing one thing, situation or person to another while using the words "as," and "like." The sentence uses this literary device because it describes a situation by comparing “my body” and “her words and gestures” to something else while employing the word “like.”

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

d) Instead of openly disagreeing with her husband’s desire to return to the Dominican Republic, she criticizes the foreign papers he reads.

Explanation:

She hasn't reached the point of confidence where she can tell her husband she doesn't want to be a stay-at-home mom anymore. As a result, she is always bothering her husband about the minor things she dislikes about him in an effort to convey her true feelings without really saying them.

Write a composition (300 - 350 words) on the topic: Imagine a situation where a child runs away from home but later returns. Why
Gala2k [10]

The question above wants to analyze your writing ability, through a text made by you. For this reason, I cannot write this text, but I will show you how to write it.

First, you should think about the situation that caused a child to run away from home and want to come back. Several situations can make a child leave the house such as abuse, family fights, lack of freedom, psychological problems, among others.

Many reasons can also make children want to return home, such as homesickness, lack of care, lack of resources, violence, hunger, among others.

Based on that, you can choose one of these reasons to write your text.

<h3>Steps to write the text:</h3>
  • Decide your narrator's point of view.
  • The first-person point of view must feature a narrator who is a character in the story.
  • This type of narrator only tells what he knows and what he has seen and can profoundly express his feelings.
  • The third-person point of view presents a narrator who is not a character, but a type of viewer who has access to everything and everyone.
  • Start the story by showing the character's domestic life and the elements that made him run away from home.
  • Write down how the character felt away from home and the situations he faced.
  • Show the reasons that made the character feel like he should go home.
  • Finish the story by showing how this character was received on his return home.
