Answer:

Hyperbole: I swear I'll love you for a million years

Personification: my pencil dances over the blank page

Metaphor: my sister is a dragon fierce and mean​

Explanation:

Figurative Language helps bring an appealing effect in the writing. There are many types of Figurative Languages like Simile, metaphor, Personification, Hyperbole, Alliteration to name a few.

In hyperbole there is use of exaggeration in the writing. In sentence 1, it says that I will love for million years, which is exaggeration of the time for which the person will love the other one. It only means that person will love the other one forever, a long time. So, it is a use of Hyperbole.

Second sentence uses personification as compares a non living thing to a characteristic of a living thing. Pencil is an object which cannot dance, but it is mentioned in this sentence. So, it is personifying pencil.

Third sentence is a metaphor as sister is called dragon in this. She is being called fierce like a dragon.

Charles has decided to plant grapes in a garden behind his house. His neighbor Buddy has grown grapes successfully for a long ti
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Charles ought to buy 60 vines.

Explanation:

Step 1:

Remove 3 meters from each side (lenght and breadth of the garden)

Because Buddy told Charles to leave at least three meters between each vine and the edge of the garden.  

Old Lenth = 35 Meters Less 6 meters (being 3 meters from each side)

Old Breadth = 25 Meters Less 6 meters (being 3 meters from each side)

New Length = 29 Meters

New Breadth = 19 Meters

Step 2:

Because the vine has to be planted 3 meters apart in each point we divide both length and breadth by 3.

Vines to be planted along the Lenght = 29/3 = 9.6 which is approximately 10 vines on the lenght

Vines to be planted along the Breadth = 19/3 = 6.3 which is approximately 6 vines on the breadth.

Step 3:

Total vines Charles to ought to buy will be arrived at by getting the product of both values from Step 2.

That is 10 x 6 = 60 vines.

Cheers!
