What do you know about figure of speech

English
2 answers:
telo118 [61]3 years ago

Answer:

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that possesses a separate meaning from its literal definition. It can be a metaphor or simile, designed to make a comparison. It can be the repetition of alliteration or the exaggeration of hyperbole to provide a dramatic effect.

Answer:

Figure of speech, any intentional deviation from literal statement or common usage that emphasizes, clarifies, or embellishes both written and spoken language. Forming an integral part of language, figures of speech are found in oral literatures as well as in polished poetry and prose and in everyday speech. Greeting-card rhymes, advertising slogans, newspaper headlines, the captions of cartoons, and the mottoes of families and institutions often use figures of speech, generally for humorous, mnemonic, or eye-catching purposes. The argots of sports, jazz, business, politics, or any specialized groups abound in figurative language.

In paragraph five, the word navigable means
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: B)

Explanation:

I could not find the paragraph five that is missing in our question but I assume that the right answer is B) because of the word ''navigable'' meaning.

  • ''Navigable'' word is mostly used when writer or speaker are describing ability or allowance of ships, boats and other water vessels to move and sail trough sea or waterway. Similar meaning of it is the word ''passable''.
  • Because of its meaning I assume that the answer B) is the most appropriate because it describes that the waterway is deep and wide for ships so we can also say that is passable.

Which sentence uses parentheses correctly?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Her mother painted the room her favorite colors (pink and yellows).

Explanation:

You use parentheses to insert extra information that a statement would still be correct without. So you can't have parentheses around parts of a sentence that, if removed, would make the sentence incomplete.

The answer I chose here doesn't need to say that the mother's favourite colours are pink and yellow for the sentence to be complete, so it is stated in parentheses. Removing the part in parentheses would not make the sentence incomplete because the sentence still works without it.

In all the other statements, removing the part in parentheses would have the statements make no sense, which means that the parentheses are incorrectly placed.

For which of the following do you need to double the final consonant before adding the suffix?
Vinvika [58]
Among the following words, the choice that you need to double the final consonant before adding the suffix to the base word is, shop + -er. The word shop plus -er becomes shopper with the double consonant p. The rule applied here is that, if the word is only one syllable and ends in a vowel and consonant, double the last letter before the vowel suffix.
