Answer: The answer is :
a) <u>He crossed the water and pulled the Blefuscudian ships to Lilliput.</u>
Explanation:
Gulliver’s Travels, by Anglo-Irish author Jonathan Swift.
Gulliver captures Blefuscu’s naval fleet, using a cable with hooks attached. Wading out into the midst of the channel separating the islands, and carries them back to Lilliput, preventing an invasion. But he declines to assist the emperor of Lilliput in conquering Blefuscu.
The correct answer is "In this selection, the use of the word <em>inundation</em> is probably exaggerated."
In this situation, inundation is not a real inundation/flood, therefore it is not literal. It is a word used to exaggerate the fact that the housewives are constantly cleaning the house, sweeping and mopping. You can see that too in the excerpt <em>"under the discipline of mops and brooms". </em>We know the author is referring to the cleaning process and therefore, chooses to use the word <em>inundation</em> to create more depth to what he's describing.
Answer:
A)
Explanation:
A is the only statement that is a metaphor, B is a simile, C is a personification, and D is a literal statement.
Answer:
I would take my chances that way if I had to fight for love, freedom or security.
Explanation:
From the context of your question, we can assume that you are referring to the play "Romeo and Juliet" where Juliet takes her place in the family by marrying in secret to Romeo, who belonged to an enemy family of hers.
As stated in the question, Juliet lived in a society where she was completely dependent on her parents and had neither permission nor authority to make any decisions about her life. However, she faced it out of love. I believe that, in my case, I would take the same risk as she if I knew true love, as she did. Also, I would take a risk that way, to protect someone in the family, or to get rid of a very negative situation. Those would be the only ways I would break the authority of my family that I was dependent on.
