Metaphor: this is also a</span><span> figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

How is human language “species-specific and species-uniform”?<br>plz urgent question
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

<span>Language is said to be species-specific because only humans posses language, and species-uniform because every normal human posses language. It is truth that other animals posses various degrees of communication systems, but they are not complex enough to be considered language. In addition, even though the ability of acquiring a language is genetically inherit, the specific language that a child acquires is completely obtained trough the cultural environment.</span>

Read the poem below and complete the instruction that follows.
VashaNatasha [74]
The poem Autumn gilt uses vivid imagery and careful word choice to convey the beauty of autumn. 
The fourth and second lines of each stanza rhyme and the poet uses an irregular rhythm. Alliteration is the best and regular technique in this poem. It can be see in lines "September sunshine/Lime green on the linden leaves/Burns bronze" with the repeated "s," "l," and "b" sounds. 
A dominant example is found in the first line of the second stanza: "It flares flame-like on the fire hydrant." The poet is using both literal and figurative language throughout the poem. She observes the sun shining on various things (literally) and uses vivid imagery to emphasize the beauty she finds in this autumn day. Figurative language is found in her descriptions.
