Answer:

The literary device used is a metaphor.

Explanation:

A metaphor is a literary device that is used for comparison. This means that when a comparison is made between two unrelated things and their meanings cannot be taken literally, it is a metaphor.

In the given dialogue of Dr. House, a metaphor is used when the comparison is made between them (House and Wilson) and birds. House compares them to <em>"an early bird . . .and a night owl."</em> This comparison is used in the metaphorical sense.

Thus, the correct answer is a metaphor.

Why does Whitman call ship "grim and daring" in line 4?
hoa [83]

Line 4: “Keel” has multiple meanings. The first is the part of the ship that goes along the underside that gives the ship stability in the water. This usage really doesn’t make much sense, though, because one can’t see a “steady keel” unless the boat has fallen over. The other use of keel here is as a synecdoche. The keel, a part of a boat, is used to represent the whole boat. More importantly, "the steady keel" lets us know that, despite its rough trip, the ship (like the nation) remains steadfast and true.

In your opinion, what are the benefits of living in society instead of living alone in nature?
jok3333 [9.3K]

The benefits of living in society instead of nature are:

1. If we lived alone with no human life around us we would probably die out faster because we would no longer be working as a team.

2. By living and communication with other people we have learned to work as a team and team work is more efficient than working alone.

3. The last benefit is if we didn't live all together we would have no relationships with the people around us nor any family.

Hope this helps!
