Full question:

Read the adapted excerpt from “NOAA Hurricane Hunters” by NOAA.

In addition to doing research to help scientists understand hurricanes and other kinds of tropical storms, NOAA's P-3s also do storm reconnaissance missions. The main purpose of these missions is to locate the center of the storm and measure central pressure and surface winds around the eye. Information from both research and reconnaissance flights directly contribute to the safety of people living along and visiting the vulnerable Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

Which dictionary entry best supports the meaning of the word reconnaissance as used in the excerpt?

re·con·nais·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun

Answer and Explanation:

The dictionary meaning of reconnaissance is to obtain information by way of preliminary survey of a region, usually for military purposes. In the example given above, reconnaissance is used in the context of the first meaning; to gain information, not necessarily for military purposes. In other words, reconnaissance in this case aims to get information for other purposes(not for military), for purposes of understanding storms in a certain region to secure the safety of people in that region.

“The crowd was as silent as death “ .Is that a metaphor or simile . Please explain .

This a simile.  This is because a simile uses like or as to compare two things.  A metaphor doesn't use like or as, but it still compares things.

Surprise sentence as verb
Nana76 [90]
Hello there! A sentence with a verb in it would be as follows:

I had to run so that I did not miss my bus.

The verb in this sentence would be the word “run,” because it shows an action that a person can physically perform.

An action verb is a word or phrase that shows action in what a person or object does. Given the definition, we can imply that any word that is a course of action somebody can perform is identified as a verb.

However, there are different kinds of verbs too. A linking verb is a word that links the predicate (the part of a sentence including the verb and stating what the subject does) with the subject (who or what the sentence is about). Words that are linking verbs include “like,” “be,” “is,” “are,” “was,” and “were.” A sentence containing a linking verb would look like this:

“She was so noisy, she sounded like the principal from Matilda!”

See the connection? In this sentence, the creator used the linking verb “like” to form a resemblance of the girl being loud with the principal from Matilda. Sentences with linking verbs can be effective depending on how they are used. If you need any extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
