Suddenly Ollie was a freight train racing into the house meaning

English
1 answer:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The full question i believe is "Suddenly, Ollie <u>was a freight train</u> racing into the house". Is the underlined phrase a simile or metaphor"? My answer to this question is Metaphor.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figurative language  in which a thing is regarded as symbolic of something else. In this case 'was a freight train' is symbolic of something else. Metaphor has to do with applying a word or phrase to an object or an action that is not literally applicable.

When a Metaphor is used, the statement does not literally make sense, but then makes sense when the similarities between the two things becomes clear or when the individual understands the connection.

What can be inferred from this excerpt from Oliver Twist by Charles dickens?
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

A. Workhouse authorities were extremely careless in their duties

This is because the passage doesn't say anything about children being weak due to poor nourishment nor parishioners wrongly criticizing their own officials, and if the legal system carefully monitored parish affairs then children wouldn't be getting scalded to death or overlooked.
