<u>D. Personification</u>

Personification is a metaphor and a literary device that provides a thing, idea, abstract qualities, nature, emotions or event with human characteristics (such as dancing, talking, thinking, among others.). In the excerpt, the narrator uses personification in the sentence by giving "the words" the attribute of dancing (as if they were alive), which is a characteristic of humans: "He felt elated as he watched the words dance across the page"

Active- Passive: 1. Whom did you meet? 2.Whom did you give the book? 3. Who called you a list?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

1. Whom was met by you?

2. To whom was the book given by you? OR Whom was the book given to by you?

3. By who were you called a list?

Explanation:

1. This is more simple. You simply find the verb "meet", determine the tense using the auxiliary verb "did" (past tense); from this you get "met". Then identify the subject ("you"), and string it all together with the passive voice form of questions: object + verb + by + subject, or "Whom was met by you?".

2. For this question, the original active voice question was grammatically wrong: it should be "To whom did you give the book?" or "Whom did you give the book to?" Using the same method mentioned in question 1, you'll get the answer.

3. This is a little different from the other two questions, since it's asking about the identity of the subject, not the object. This means the sentence structure should be similar, but with the subject moved to the start. This could technically be done to all of the questions, but most people use the "object + verb to be + verb + by + subject" form for finding the object.

Anyways, back to the question: the form used should be "by + subject + verb to be + object + verb". This explains the answer.

Sorry if I didn't explain the answers that well

How does a tyrant seize total power? A tyrant seizes power by bullying the common people, using fear as the primary motivation t
KatRina [158]

Your answer would be that a tyrant works with the people whose ideals he or she represents and then seizes total power, sharing none with the supporters. That is the way in which they gain power.

First of all, they act as if they cared about the people and then, after being elected, they do whatever they want with their power: They accept no restrictions and pass laws for their own sake and they even take the law into their own hands.
