Answer: B. Figurative language

Figurative language refers to the use of words in ways that are not meant to be taken literally. It uses words in a way that deviates from their conventional use in order to convey a different meaning or heighten the effect of the speech. In this case, the phrase "to crush him like a fly" does not literally mean that Grendel wants to crush Unferth in the same way as a fly. The statement is not to be taken literally. Instead, it is intended to heighten the feeling of anger and frustration that Grendel feels towards Unferth.

In the text fourteen by Alice Gerstenberg which statement expresses the theme of the drama
lianna [129]

Answer:

"Thirteen! Why you're right--thirteen! We can never sit down with thirteen. That's all due to Mr. Harper's negligence. Sick friend, nothing! He's just one of those careless men who never answer their invitations in time."

Explanation:

As a high-class individual, connections among royalty and the rich are paramount when it comes to maintaining or improving your social status within the upper echelon of society.

One of the most common problems such people face while trying to build and improve the bonds with other members of high society arises when it comes to fancy and expensive dinner arrangements. As such, every fork and knife must be immaculate, every plate sparkly clean and everyone must be seated accordingly.

Mrs. Horace Pringle's dinner table fits precisely fourteen people, placing a chair at each end and lines of six chairs on each side. If those fourteen seats are not properly filled, there will be an outrage and even the royalty they are trying to impress might hear of such an embarrassing situation.

What lessons are we supposed to draw from the retelling of the narcissus myth in the prologue of the alchemist?
MArishka [77]

The narcissus myth found in the prologue of the alchemist is a metaphor that suggests that a person sometimes needs to be self-focused, worry a little bit more about oneself, follow his/her own path to succeed in life, because this characteristic could connect you more to nature and to the spiritual world.
