This is a SIMILE - if words such as 'as' or 'like' are used in order to compare two things (in this case, 'giant rocks with razor edges crouch LIKE a sea monster with wide open jaws'), then it is a simile.

What other units do you know that are used to measure speed?
Annette [7]

Answer:

There are quite a number of units to measure speed and depending on how fast an object is going, some are more preferred than others.

The units are:

  • Metres per second - this is on of the most common units and is regularly used by runners.  
  • Kilometres per hour - used by cars, buses and generally objects that move adequately fast.  
  • Miles per hour - this is a substitute to kilometers per hour for countries using the imperial system or miles instead of kilometers.  
  • Knots - Represent nautical miles and are a unit of speed mostly used to measure wind and water speed.
  • Feet per second - Not as popular but used in countries that don't regularly use metres.  
  • Mach number - for really fast objects going faster than sound.

What element of the plot is this passage an example of
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Exposition

Explanation:

In these lines, we see an example of exposition. Exposition is the part of a text in which the author presents background information that the reader needs to know before reading the story. Exposition, therefore, is the first section of a text. In this case, the background information that readers need to know is that the setting has recently experienced a very destructive war. The character can remember the period before the war, and how the city was transformed.
