The correct answer is C. Cause and effect
Explanation:
In language, reasoning occurs as statements or premises connect logically and lead to a conclusion. This reasoning can be of different types including cause and effect in which an event, situation, etc. is presented as a trigger of others. In the statement "Gradually, desertification causes a dryland, such as the Sonoran Desert, to lose its ability to support plants and animals" this is the type of reasoning as a cause is presented "desertification" and the effect of it " to lose its ability to support plants and animals" which is also shown by the verb "cause" that shows the cause and effect reasoning.
Answer:
The main difference between past simple and past continuous tense is that:
- we use<u> past simple tense</u> when something happened at some time in past. We also commonly use this tense with past time adverbs (yesterday, last night, two days ago, etc.)
For example: John called his friend yesterday.
- we use <u>past continuous tense</u> if an action occurred in the past and <u>lasted for a period of time.</u>
Example: I was reading a book all day yesterday.
We used past continuous tense because the action of reading lasted for some time (a whole day in this case).
Answer:
She floated around the room so easily she
could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion
She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile
She floated around the room, moving in no
specific direction - Metaphor.
Explanation:
A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"
This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.
A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.
In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.
Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.
In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.
