Answer:

A It compares the sloshing liquid to a river of water etc.

A metaphor is a comparison of two (different) things and this type of figurative lenguage is often used for dramatic effect. Such as the <em>river of water able to push apart the sidewalk.</em> A and C are comparisons but in the case of C there is no real comparison nor a difference:  a snowflake is a frozen cristal.

Which sentence does not contain any errors in comma usage? A. His new shoes look like big, brown torpedoes. B. This is the best,
Makovka662 [10]


Ok, it can't be C because you never place a comma in front of the adjective which is describing the noun, unless their is 3+ descriptive words.

Commas never are used when there is an <u><em>'and' </em></u>set in front of it. Commas generally mean <u><em>'and'</em></u><em /><em />. So therefore don't need to be used again, so we can eliminate B.

Not D, because it Does not contain a comma.

A is the only correct option.

Hope I helped. :) Thanks for using Brainly! :D

Which best describes the author’s viewpoint toward the actual Rosetta Stone in "The Rosetta Stone”?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

It is a fascinating artifact that can help people better understand the past.

Explanation:

The Rosetta Stone is an ancient stone discovered by archaeologists that began an intense study for the language used in ancient Egypt. This stone had inscriptions that led and helped scholars learn about the language and script used by people in the past.

Inscribed with three styles/ scripts, the stone began what will become the turning point for scholars to understand the Egyptian writing. The pictures called hieroglyphs represent certain words which the researchers tried to decipher. And when they finally got through, it helped them better understand the past and how it also helps experts learn and understand the 'picture' language of the Egyptians.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
