When the bank on the other side of the draw began to throw a narrow shelf of shadow, we knew we ought to be starting homeward;

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The type of figurative language used in the passage is: imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). By using imagery, authors involve readers and help them, in their imagination, to see, hear, touch, smell or taste what is being described. In the particular passage we are analyzing here, the author is using imagery when describing the shadow thrown by the bank. By using "a narrow shelf of shadow," the author has us imagining it in a vivid manner, as if we are the character seeing that shadow.

Write a hook for drugs and smoking

Olegator [25]

Hooks also known as grabbers are sentences at the beginning of any argument essay or essay as a way to grab the attention of a reader. A grabber is only one sentence long and appears in the first paragraph in a argument essay/essay. So, in this case a hook for drugs and smoking would be something like.... "Did you know that drugs and smoking is one of the biggest addictive problems today?"

Hope this helps.

If you were the interviewee, how would you conduct yourself in a telephone vs. Face-to-face interview?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Don't smoke, chew gum, eat, or drink • Keep a glass of water handy in case your throat gets dry • Smile. Smiling will project a positive image to the listener and will change the tone of your voice • Know who’s on the line. If there are multiple interviewers, ask each one to identify himself or herself before posing questions • Speak slowly and enunciate clearly, use correct grammar and complete sentences • Sit upright or stand to ensure that your voice doesn’t sound too relaxed or nervous • Use the person's title (Mr. or Ms. and their last name) • Don't interrupt the interviewer and ask them to repeat the question for clarity if necessary • Take your time when responding to difficult questions. It is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to collect your thoughts • Reaffirm your qualifications and end with a strong closing • Remember your goal is to set-up a face-to-face interview. After you thank the interviewer ask them what the next step will be
