Answer:

The sentence is a simile.

Explanation:

Similes are those figures of speech that compares two things of different types in order to make the description more exact or vivid, with the use of the word "like" in it's sentence. On the other hand, metaphors are like similes. They are used in comparison too but the difference in this is that the comparison is not literally applicable.

"Silence will fall like dews"

The above sentence can me identified to be a simile in that it uses the comparison form, comparing silence to that of a dew. Dews don't make any noise or sound when they fall on the ground.

Wind turbines can be classified by their mechanical power control, and further divided by their speed control. All turbine blades convert the motion of air across the air- foils to torque, and then regulate that torque in an attempt to capture as much energy as possible, yet prevent damage.

In ACT I SCENE I Of ROMEO & JULIET, what instance best shows Benvolio as a peacekeeper who doesn't like fighting?

pantera1 [17]

Answer: A. His response to the servants fighting in the beginning of the play

Explanation:

Servants of the Capulet family start a fight with Montague family servants. Benvolio, a Montague, draws his sword and attempts to break up the fight. Tybalt, a Capulet, sees the drawn sword of Benvolio. Tybalt draws his sword and, after Benvolio tries to avoid conflict, Tybalt attacks. The fight escalates. Montague and Capulet enter the scene. The Prince enters and commands the fight to end. Frustrated with the family feud, the Prince declares a death sentence on anybody who starts more trouble.

BENVOLIO

Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.

Enter TYBALT

TYBALT

What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds°?

Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.

BENVOLIO

I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword

Or manage it to part these men with me.

...

Benvolio then discusses the quarrel with Tybalt with his uncle (Romeo's father):

MONTAGUE

Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?[11]

Speak, nephew. Were you here when it began?

BENVOLIO

Here were the servants of your adversary

And yours, close fighting ere° I did approach.

I drew to part them; in the instant came

The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,

Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,

He swung about its head and cut the winds,

Which, nothing hurt at all, hissed it in scorn.

While we were interchanging thrusts and blows

Came more and more who fought on part and part,

Til the prince came, who parted either part.
