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.

To improve her understanding of The Common Sense of Bicycling: Bicycling for Ladies, Lorena wrote this paraphrase of a sentence.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

The sentence being paraphrased is option C) "To take the pressure off the ascending pedal at the right moment is a more difficult matter."

There are several hints that help us identify the paraphrased sentence since there are phrases with similar meanings:

To take pressure off: to lighten up. These two phrases imply the meaning of "slowing down the movement"

Ascending pedal: top pedal. Both words are synonyms

More difficult matter: requires practice. These phrases refer to the difficulty of the action.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:This happenned about five years ago I came Turkey where I was on holiday with some friends who rented bungalow in the mountains not far from Ankara, the capital anyway, we sat in the plane and just took off when there was a loud bang from the right hand side of the plane and we can see a lot of smoke coming from one of the engines. Of course, everyone started looking around but the plane carried on flying normally. And then a few minutes later the pilot came on to the PA and said there was a problem with one of the engines and we'd have to return to the airport. I felt pretty nervous, I can tell you, but I tried to concentrate on my book, and about ten minutes later we landed without any problems. We had to wait for about an hour and then we got back on the plane. Actually, it was a different plane and I was pretty relieved that it was.

Explanation:Sorry It might not be the best answer. But I hope it helps you even if a little bit.
