Which of these descriptions best defines the term "metaphysical conceit"?

English

Alex17521 [72]3 years ago
4 0
The description that best defines the term <em>metaphysical conceit </em>would be unusual comparisons to describe commonplace things.
For example, John Donne wrote a poem called <em>The Flea </em>in which he is talking about a mere insect on the surface level, whereas in fact he is using metaphysical conceit to talk about a romantic intercourse through the metaphor of a flee.

Which statement best explains why the parallelism used in this excerpt is
alexdok [17]

Parallelism has the function of highlighting a concept within the text, to draw the reader's attention.

<h3>What is parallelism?</h3>
  • It's a writing strategy.
  • It consists of a sequence of words with the same grammatical structure that points to the same idea.

To find the effect of parallelism in the text, it is necessary to read the text and find a sequence of words with the same structure and context. Next, it is necessary to identify the elements of the text to which these words point.

You did not show the text this question refers to. This prevents me from being able to provide a specific answer, but I hope this answer can help you.

Mikayla placed the dough on her right fist and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef. What change should be made
marta [7]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What change should be made in sentence 3? (Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef.)

A. Insert a comma after "fist".

B. Change "then" to "than".

C. Change "spins" to "spun".

D. Change "it" to "them".

Answer:

The change that should be made in sentence 3 is:

C. Change "spins" to "spun".

Explanation:

The sentence "Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spins it into the air, trying to mimic the chef" is incorrect for only one reason - the shift in verb tenses. The sentence begins with a verb in the simple past and, all of a sudden, changes to the simple present. It is clear that this is a sequence of actions that took place in the past, one after the other, so the shift is inappropriate in this case. To correct it, we must change the verb in the present form (spins) to the past form (spun):

Mikayla placed the dough on her right hand and then spun it into the air, trying to mimic the chef.

6a. What made Dave Withrow uniquely qualified to join Operation
Len [333]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, however, after searching for it on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours that presented the text "NOAA’s Big Miracle Worker" as the text in question. If this is your case I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer and Explanation:

The text is an interview with Dave Withrow about the operation that allowed the rescue of three gray whales that were trapped in Barrow, Alaska in 1988. Withrow shows that he was the qualified professional to work in this operation because he had experience working with marine manifers, such as whales, because when he worked at NOAA at the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, his department was responsible for taking care of any matter related to whales. This can be seen in the first paragraph of the text, in the lines: “... anything whale-related, especially on the West Coast, comes  through our office.”
