Answer:
... because the word order is backwards
Explanation:
English follows a fixed word order: S V O (subject - verb - object)
The sentence as written shows V O S, which creates a nonstandard English sentence.
We write and speak in three different 'persons' . . .
Let's say I'm telling you something about Sam.
I'm the first person. You're the second person. Sam is the third person.
First Person: I, we, us
Second Person: You, you-all
Third Person: He, she, it, they, them
So there are three different ways to write or tell the same story.
Most stories that you read are written either in the First person or the Third person.
<u>"First-person narrative" is a story being told by the person it's about</u>.
"I'm Al. I got up in the morning. Then I got dressed, I went to the store, and bought milk."
"Third-person narrative is a story being told about somebody.
"Sam got up in the morning. Then he got dressed, he went to the store, and he got milk."
I saved "Second-person narrative" for last, because it's not used very often
and so it sounds weird. But there ARE whole books written in Second-person:
"Your name is Johhny Schlaffgut. You went to bed early last night because
yesterday was a tough day at the office and you were tired. But this morning
you felt OK. You woke up, you got dressed, and you went to the store for milk."
Answer: a. simile
Explanation:
Since the sentence uses the word "as" to compare, and similes contain the words "like" or "as," the sentence is a simile.
Answer:
Ben Redd has football in his blood. With his two older all-star brothers and their NFL dad being football royalty, it was only natural that sixth-grade quarterback Ben follow in their footsteps. Gifted with speed and a rocket arm, Ben has his sights set on the NFL. And his chance to shine is on the horizon, especially with the championship game against the tough rival team, Penn Yan.
But when his dad receives awful news—that he has an incurable disease called ALS, no doubt triggered by those hard hits he took on the field—the whole family is turned upside down. Now Ben’s mom is determined to get Ben to quit football for good.
Ben isn’t playing just for himself, though. This might be his dad’s last time ever as a coach. And Ben’s lively teammates, including the new girl on the team, Thea, need a quarterback who can lead them to a victory. He can’t—he won’t—give up. But as Ben struggles on the field from the pressures of winning, and as he watches the heavy toll ALS is taking on his dad, he begins to question if this will truly be his final season.
