Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two things by saying the first thing is the second thing. Greta is obviously not actually a fish but she swims like one so the author used a metaphor.

WHY THE OTHER ANSWERS DO NOT WORK:

A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word. There is no joke being made here so the sentence is not a pun.

Personification is a form of metaphor in that human characteristics are attributed to nonhuman things. Greta is a human so this sentence is not an example of personification.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using the terms "like" or "as". Neither of those phrases were used, so this sentence is not a simile.

The only option left is metaphor. :)

astraxan [27]

Answer:

I went to virgina on October 16th 2017, when I arrived there I got out of my car and walked into my new house. I looked around and saw a spider, I then proceeded to run out to my mom and dad and told them there was a spider in the living room. They laughed at me and told me I was going crazy and that there was nothing there. I had then went back into the house and the spider was gone so I was paranoid all night long and didnt get any sleep.

 The next day I woke up and my parents had said they saw it too and they killed it so I was okay. I went to take a shower and saw another one, but I just thought I was seeing things so I ignored it and then it came up and crawled on me and bit me and the spider was a black widow and so my parents rushed me to the hospital and they helped get the poisine  out and then I went home the next day. We moved again because we found out our house was full of spiders and when we moved to the other house we didnt have a spider probelm and lived there for a year.

Based on the story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow​" by Washington Irvin"
evablogger [386]

Discuss Ichabod Crane. Is he the hero of the story? Based on the way he looks and behaves, is he a typical hero?

Answer: Ichabod Crane is not the hero of the story.

Explanation:

Ichabod Crane comes to Sleepy Hollow to be the schoolmaster. He is extremely thin and tall, and his physical appearance does not make him a good example of a hero. Crane is old-fashioned and particularly interested in supernatural elements and ghost stories. His attempt to marry Katrina Van Tassel fails, as she chooses his rival, Brom, over him. Crane is also friends with women, and has no male companion.

Is there someone else in the story who better exemplifies the traditional hero?

Answer: Brom Van Brunt is a better example of the traditional hero.

Explanation:

Brom represents a real American hero. He is strong, boisterous, skilled on horseback. Although he is extremely strong, he never beats Crane physically. He has male friends, and, as opposed to Crane, wants to marry Katrina out of love, and not because of her money. He is not as educated as Crane is, but turns out to be the one who wins Katrina's heart. He is more clever and, therefore, outwits his rival.
