Answer:
1. He looked solid like an oar, whereas Jesse...well, he was like water, thin and quick." Simile
2. "The first week of August was reasserting itself after a good night's sleep." Personification
3. "A dragonfly, a brilliant blue jewel, darted up and paused over the lily pads, then swung up and away." Metaphor
4. "Now, remembering the visits of the night before, she smiled-and found that she loved them, this most peculiar family." Not figurative language
5. "I wanted to, heaven knows. But Winnie, how'd it have been if I had?" Idiom
Explanation:
Figurative languages are words used in ways that do not portray their regular meaning in order to make sentences clearer and more meaningful to the reader.
- Simile is the direct comparison of objects that are completely different but have similarities. In the first sentence, the pronoun, "He" was directly compared to an oar.
- Personification is the assignment of the attributes of non-living things to living things. The month of August was presented as a person that could reassert itself and also have a good night rest.
- A metaphor is the indirect comparison of objects. In the third sentence, the dragonfly was indirectly compared to a brilliant blue jewel.
- An idiom is a word whose meaning cannot be deduced from its regular usage. The idiom "heaven knows," symbolizes the truthfulness of what the speaker was saying.
Answer:
I'll make the assumption that Lisa received the email.
The entire team engaged in the preparation of the proposal Paul submitted on Wednesday.
Please take action on the recommendations in the customer satisfaction report.
Explanation:
Buried verbs are the verbs that are needlessly converted into wordy noun expressions.
In the first statement, the verb’ assume’ is needlessly converted into ‘make the assumption’. In the second option ‘engaged in the preparation’ instead of ‘prepare’ and in the fourth option, ‘take an action’ instead of ‘act’ are used. Hence all these sentences contain buried verbs. But in third sentence there is no needless conversion of verb into noun and it does not contain buried verb.
