Neither, a metaphor would be like "I'm so hungry that I could probably eat an elephant," while a simile would have 'like' or 'as' to describe something.

The correct answer is neither. The sentence "We shall step upon white down" is neither a simile nor a metaphor.

Similes and metaphors are figures of speech mainly used in literature to provide a special effect to a piece of writing. <u>Both similes and metaphors are based on comparisons</u>; however, there are differences between them. A simile compares things using the words "like" or "as". An example of a simile is: "She was as white as snow". On the other hand, a metaphor states a comparison in a direct way using the verb "be". "Her eyes are a poem" is an example of metaphor. In that way<u>, the sentence "We shall step upon white down" does not establish a simile nor a metaphor because it does not include a comparison between two things</u>.

11. Craft and Structure: Based on Krimsky's conclusion, what is his point of view
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

According to Krimsky's conclusion, the free press in a democracy is important when it is committed to truth and information.

Explanation:

After reading Krimsky's article "The Role Of The Media In A Democracy", we can ask that the freedom of the press is a powerful weapon within a democracy, because it is what brings information to the public and lets people understand what is happening in the country and thus draw their conclusions about what should be combated and stimulated within the national territory. However, it is important that, in addition to being free, the press is committed to the truth, non-partisan, non-defaming and impartial, with the responsibility only to disclose the facts and not to influence conclusions and opinions.

A poem's rhyme scheme is part of its        A. diction.   B. theme.   C. structure.   D. sound.
FinnZ [79.3K]

C. structure

A poem's structure is how the poem is put together. How many stanzas does it have? How many lines per stanza? How many syllables per line? What is the rhyme scheme (if there is one)? All of these things determine the type of structure the poem uses.

Diction is the author's word choice. Theme is the poem's main idea or message. There are many factors that can go into a poem's sound such as any sound devices like alliteration.
