Answer:

To advance his arguments on his essay "Education", Emerson uses figurative language as observed in the following examples:

  • In this <em>world</em> <em>of hurry and distraction</em>
  • <em>Nature loves</em> analogies but not repetitions
  • The whole theory of the school <em>is on the nurse’s or mother’s knee </em>
  • The child is<em> as hot to learn as the mother is to impart </em>
  • You must lower your <em>flag and reef your sails</em> to wait for the dull <em>sailors </em>

Explanation:

The main role of the figurative language is to provide examples to make ideas clear through the use of different figures of speech. For instance:

1. Simile: It is used to make comparisons:

  • The child is as hot to learn as the mother is to impart

2. Metaphor: It is used to make implicit comparisons:

  • You must lower your flag and reef your sails to wait for the dull sailors.<em>( The sailors are the students in this case)</em>

3. Personification: It is used to give human characteristics to unanimated    beings.

  • Nature loves analogies but not repetitions

4. Metonimy: It is used to develop a relation with a general meaning

  • In this world of hurry and distraction.                                                <em>(World refers to some situations in everyday life)</em>

5. Symbolism: It is used to signify ideas giving symbolic meanings that are different from their literal meanings

  • The whole theory of the school is on the nurse’s or mother’s knee  <em>(The theory of school depends on the mother because children learn from her, but it is not literally on her body)</em>

Nady [450]

The information from the excerpt that best supports the inference that certain video games resulted from issues related to national security is this:

  • "Since the first head-mounted display was built for the Pentagon in 1968, primitive versions of virtual reality have since proliferated to video arcades around the country."

<h3>Which information from the excerpt best supports the inference?</h3>

The information from the excerpt that best supports the inference that certain video games arose from issues related to national security is that which shows that it was after the first head-mounted display was built for the Pentagon that primitive versions of virtual reality began to be built.

So, the second part of the sentence points to the relationship between virtual reality and security.

mel-nik [20]

Correct answer choice is :


<h2>A) “Harlem” uses all five senses, while “The Weary Blues” relies mainly on the sense of sound.</h2><h2 /><h2>Explanation:</h2><h2 />

The Weary Blues was written during the rise of the Harlem Renaissance, in the 1920's. Langston Hughes' poem The Weary Blues, which is set in an era before the Civil Rights Movement, indicates a number of causes for the fatigue of the musician. In the poem Harlem, Langston Hughes helps readers examine their dreams and what it means to delay them. As such, the poem is often attributed to a Dream Deferred.
