Fill in the blank with some/any/no/much/many/a lot of I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

Fantom [35]

Answer and Explanation:

If you are having a hard time figuring out which word goes into the black, try plugging all the words in to see if it makes sense.

I didn't sleep ___ hours last night

I didn't sleep some hours last night.

- This doesn't sound right; Some can be used for plural nouns, but because of the way this sentence is structured, it can't be applied.

I didn't sleep any hours last night.

- Another way of saying any (in this case) is at all, which would mean the sentence needs to be restructured, which we can't do.

I didn't sleep no hours last night .

- This isn't correct, because it contains a double negative, which is when two negative words are used in the same clause (group of words containing a verb) to explain a single negative idea.

I didn't sleep much hours last night.

- Due to hours being a countable plural noun, we can't use much, therefore this is incorrect.

I didn't sleep many hours last night.

- This is correct! If you wanted to replace an amount of hours slept (or not slept), you can use many to show you slept for x amount of time without being specific.

The author describes a wall ""as if hewn from the side of a mountain."" Find other examples of figurative language. Why did the

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

The author did not limit himself to literal language because he knew that figurative language would give more expressiveness and depth to the text.

As you did not show the text to which your question refers, it is not possible to show the use of figurative language in the text, but it is possible to state the reasons that led the author to use this type of language.

In the question above, we can see that the author made use of the simile, a figure of speech that allows the comparison between two elements, increasing the meaning between them.

This objective is very common in authors who use any type of figurative language in their texts. This is because figurative language can:

Intensify parts of the text.
Make the text deeper.
Show more expressiveness.
Create more impactful meanings.
Force the reader's thinking.

Approach topics with greater delicacy, or more aggressiveness.

It is important to emphasize that figurative language does not have a literal meaning of the words, but something more subjunctive, unlike the literal language.
