Read the fable and use supporting evidence from the story to identify its theme. Answer in a minimum of three complete sentences

.
One fine day in winter some Ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. Presently up came a Grasshopper and begged them to spare her a few grains, "For," she said, "I'm simply starving." The Ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. "May we ask," said they, "what you were doing with yourself all last summer? Why didn't you collect a store of food for the winter?" "The fact is," replied the Grasshopper, "I was so busy singing that I hadn't the time." "If you spent the summer singing," replied the Ants, "you can't do better than spend the winter dancing." And they chuckled and went on with their work.

The theme of this short fable is to always be prepared. In the tale, the Grasshopper asks for help but the ants won't help because they know he should have prepared for winter instead of singing all summer. Being prepared is what the story is about especially when the ants tell the Grasshopper to 'spend the winter dancing' instead of helping him.

1. Author Kristin Lewis writes, "Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history. " This line contains _______.
Studentka2010 [4]

The line "Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history" contains a type of figurative language called metaphor, as is further explained below.

<h3>What is metaphor?</h3>
  • Metaphor is a type of figurative language.
  • It is used to compare different things, people, etc.
  • Metaphor does NOT rely on the words "like" or "as" for the comparison.
  • It states that "thing A is thing B" rather than "thing A is like thing B."

With the information above in mind, we can identify the use of metaphor in the line by Lewis. She states that Tutankhamen is a drop of water in the ocean of history, comparing the young pharaoh to a single drop of water.

Her purpose with such a comparison is to show that, in terms of all history, Tutankhamen's story is quite small, maybe even insignificant.

Which [outlined] sentence from the paragraph uses a straw man argument?
vaieri [72.5K]

The following sentence uses a straw man argument: "Those who are critical of self-driving cars need to learn to accept technological advances and stop resisting the future."

A straw man argument is when you give the impression that you are countering an opponent's point, when in reality you are "making up" a point that your opponent has not presented. It is like beating down a straw man or a dummy instead of a real adversary.

Here, people who are suspicious about self-driving cars are immediately described by the author as opposed to "technological advances" and "resisting the future." However, few people who have expressed doubts about self-driving cars would say that they are against scientific progress in general. Rather, they are concerned about the safety and the accuracy of the artifical intelligence, for example, but that does not mean that they are opposed to the idea. The author uses this rhetorical device to make his/her opponents lose credibility.
