This statement is a compound sentence since it has two independent clauses linked to each other by a linker. how to know? just remove the linkor and read each claue on its own. that'll be:
stephen plays the violin. marta plays the viola.
if the clauses are complete on their own (independent clauses), then the sentence is a compound sentence.
The answer is 3. personification and simile, because the author is giving Spring human-like qualities, and is comparing it with something else using the word "like", which is used in similes.
This is a metaphor.
Similies use "as" or "like" to explicitly denote a comparison and personifications give human-like characteristics to animals, objects, or concepts.
Hope this helps! :)
Out of all the situations, Leslie's decision to quit and move back in with her parents in another state doesn't make sense. How is that supposed to help her follow her dream of becoming a designer? B. does not illustrate an effective coping skill.
