Identify which is a simile, metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration or personification.

rodikova [14]

Answer: a: simile b: alliteration c: simile d: personification e: hyperbole f: simile g: simile h: simile i: alliteration j: metaphor

Explanation: Similes are comparing unlike things with like or as. This means that a, c, g and h are similes. However on d it also uses the word as but it's personification. That's because personification is giving nonliving things human like characteristics. A chair cannot wait, but a human can therefore it's personification. Alliteration is the repetiotion of the beginning sound on a set of words. So because most of the words in b and i start with the same sound, it's alliteration. E is a hyperbole because a hyperbole is an exaggeration. The speaker of the statement doesn't actually have a million things to do, they're exaggerating which makes it a hyperbole. Lastly j is a metaphor because it compares 2 unlike things without using like or as, instead using was. Hope this helps :)

Dear uncle,

I hope you are doing well and that you are healthy! How have you spent your quarantine? While it was a little hard to be in the house and worry about what will happen, I have tried to spend my time in quarantine as best as I could.

I have been reading a lot, and have managed to read five books so far. They are mostly young adult fiction that is concerned with the problems of the modern world, but I read some fantasy books as well. As you know, I have always enjoyed fantasy and now I finally have the time to read it.

I also spent time in the garden, helping my mother with flowers – this was very relaxing and beneficial, as we got to be out in the sun without putting anyone in danger. In the evening, we would often watch movies or play board games as a family. I have even won a few games of monopoly! I tried not to get behind on my studies, and have read textbooks just as teachers advised us. Online classes are a great way to keep up with school work. It’s not always easy to do the work, but I study hard and do all the homework on time.

As mum cooks every day, I learned some of the tricks in the kitchen from her. Now I can make the meal on my own! I learned how to fry an egg, how to bake potatoes, how to prepare meat, and make cookies. These days, I sometimes prepare the meal for the family myself and everyone is enjoying it. Can’t wait to serve you some of my delicious cooking in the future!

The creative work really helps, so I sometimes do art and draw and paint with my sister. As she is younger than me, her art is not that good, but she is learning fast. It is great to be able to show her something new and help her pass the time. I love it so much that I finally spend so much time with the family.

When I want to spend some time alone, I play video games. There are some great ones that are educational as well as fun. I mostly like historical and strategy games where I can build my cities and armies. This made me more interested in history, so I started reading about Greek mythology and history. There is so much fun stuff and I am sure it will help me with the school as well.

As you can see, I try to keep myself organized and occupied, and spend time with others. It helps me a lot when you have someone to have fun with. Who knew there are so many fun hobbies we could pursue without leaving our house?

Maybe my letter gave you some ideas on how to spend your time!

I hope to hear from you soon!

Loads of love,

Your niece/nephew.

Which of the following statements is an example of visualizing a sequence of events?

Kruka [31]

The correct answer is D. All of the above

Explanation:

In writing, visualizing a sequence of events means the author of the text uses descriptions and linking words that indicate the time to explains two or more events that are related. This allows writers to connect events during time and develop a story appropriately.

All the options presented are examples of this because in these authors explain events during time using descriptions and words that indicate time, for example in "Early in the morning, shortly after dawn, while was still dreaming, would disappear" the author uses the words "early" and "shortly after" to relate the experiences of a character in different moments of the day. This also occurs in "He went to bed before dusk and sleep" and "Then he began to hear sounds. Peculiar sounds" because the words "then" and "before" shows the relationship between two events during time.
