Answer:

Throughout each story, the characters try to prove something to themselves or other people. In Maureen Daly's short story "Sixteen" the narrator is clearly trying to prove to the reader that she is smart and popular. A very clear example of this occurs at the beginning of the story when the narrator is describing herself. Daly writes, "I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really so dumb. I know what a girl should do and what she shouldn't. I get around." When she says, "I want you to understand," she is clearly directing the statement at us, the reader. As she goes on to say that she is not really that dumb, her message clearly becomes an attempt to convince us that she is smart. Finally, when she says, "I get around," it appears as though she is trying to tell the reader that she is popular. Combining what has just been learned from the narrator's statements, She is trying to prove to someone her ethos: that she is smart enough and popular enough to be telling us a story about a boy.

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow.
Yanka [14]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The figure of speech being used here is a simile. The use of the word "as" shows that a simile is being used to compare the quality of the fleece to snow. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Which sentences contain an infinitive? Check all that apply.
Tju [1.3M]

Answer: I’m working <u>to save</u> up for some new music.

              Denise likes <u>to get</u> her exercise by dancing.

              Dave has <u>to walk</u> the dog every morning.

Explanation:

The infinitive in English expresses the meaning of the verb in a general way, without reference to any verbal tense.

As a rule in English grammar, when a verb is in infinitive it must be preceded by the particle <em>'to'</em>, for example, <em>'to play'</em>.

According to this explanation, only the following sentences contain an infinitive:

I’m working <u>to save</u> up for some new music.

Denise likes <u>to get</u> her exercise by dancing.

Dave has <u>to walk</u> the dog every morning.

The other sentences, although have the particle 'to' are not followed by a verb.
