What are Allusions and Hyperboles if you want to give an example you can.

English
1 answer:
Angelina_Jolie [31]2 years ago
7 0

An allusion is basically a way to indirectly say something, like "Chocolate was Sarah's Achilles Heel." is allusion, because the phrase "Achilles Heel" means weakness in short, and so its saying that chocolate is Sarah's weakness.

A hyperbole is an exaggeration, like if I said "I am so hungry I could eat a horse!" Obviously I'm not going to actually eat a horse, but its exaggerating how hungry I am

Make this sentence active Unknown factors delayed the 9:15 train from Pittsburgh.
balandron [24]

Answer:

Active: Unknown factors delayed the 9:15 train from Pittsburgh.

Passive: The 9:15 train from Pittsburg was delayed by unknown factors.

Explanation:

The sentence is already active. The object of the sentence is ‘the train from Pittsburgh’ and the subject is ‘unknown factors’. The subject of the sentence performs an direct action over the object (delayed), so it is an active sentence. When we give more importance to the object of the sentence it becomes passive, as it is stated in the second sentence: The 9:15 train from Pittsburg was delayed by unknown factors.
