Answer: C. hyperbole.

Explanation: An Hyperbole is a literary device which consists in make an obvious exaggeration to help to emphasize a point in a text. In the poem "For a Lady I Know" by Countee Cullen, we can see a clear example of an hyperbole, because the author intentionally exaggerates the Lady's racism by saying that she thinks that even in heaven there is a separation of classes, where the black cherubs are the ones to do the chores.

Which sentence has correct subject and verb agreement? A) We be planning to celebrate all night. B) Both of my older sisters pla
Arlecino [84]

<em>Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band </em>is the sentence with the correct subject-verb agreement.

Explanation:

In the context of linguistics, the term <em>agreement</em> refers to words changing their form in a certain way that depends on the other words to which they relate.

According to the subject-verb agreement, the verb and the subject must agree in number. This means that, if the verb is singular, the subject must also be singular, and the other way around.

An example of the correct subject-verb agreement is the sentence <em>Neither Carla nor Tim plays in the marching band.</em><em> </em>Even if there are two subjects in the given case, the verb is singular. When the subjects are both singular and are connected by the words <em>or, nor, neither/nor, either/or, </em>or<em> not only/but also</em>, the verb is also singular.

Sentence A is incorrect as <em>we</em> is a plural noun and should be used with the plural verb (<em>are</em> instead of <em>be</em>). Sentences B and C are similar. <em>Sisters</em> is plural, so instead of <em>plays</em>, the form<em> play </em>should be used. <em>Frogs </em>is also plural, and the correct form of the verb would be<em> croak.</em>

Read the excerpt from "The Crab That Played with the Sea.”
KIM [24]

Crab That Played With Sea is a book by Rudyard Kipling. The King Crab in the story likes to follow his own path and thinks highly of himself. Thus, option C is correct.

<h3>What is the idea of Crab That Played With Sea?</h3>

Kipling's <em>Crab That Played With Sea</em> is a story that explains the occurrence of the tides in the water to the children. It also entertains the audience and uses imagery and repetition.

Pau Amma was the King Crab that lived on the ocean though he was a king, he was nothing better and was laughed off by the eldest magician. Here the excerpt, suggests that he does not like to follow paths made by others and rather does things on his own.

He went to the sea so that he does not have to follow the orders of Adams like others and thought of being better than the others. Pau did not like to follow orders and commands and always does what he likes.

Therefore, option C. Pau likes to follow his own path.
