…that banner ads, merchandise sales and paid memberships were used to fund geocaching.com? This despite many attempts to keep geocaching non-commercial.

…that geocaching.com used to censor the names of other geocaching websites? People were not allowed to utter them or link to them on geocaching.com.

…that the site tried to merge the much older hobby of letterboxing with geocaching, which was resisted by many members.

Mark Twain once advised that writers should “use the right word, not its second cousin.” How is this advice related to the use o
nadya68 [22]
Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.

Read the section "Believer By Imagine Dragons."
qaws [65]

Explanation:

Being told what the song is about, helps the reader understand the lyrics.

Because the reader is told what the song is about, we know what the lyrics mean. The lyrics reinforce what the song is about, like how a simile reinforces what a passage is about. Think about this: If an author wrote, "The man was as brave as a lion,", instead of, "The man was brave", this is a much better choice of words.

Similarly to the passage, by using similes in the lyrics to better emphasize overcoming emotional and physical pain, the song helps the reader understand better the message of the song.

Answer:

So, by reading the section, the reader understands that a simile is about two things being compared to one another, like how the song compares physical pain to a choking rain of ashes.
