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. :)

Answer:

The window in the living room provides the best natural sunlight.

Explanation:

A restrictive phrase functions like an adjective and modifies or identifies the noun it precedes in an absolute way. Besides, it may contain relative pronouns like <em>that, who, whom </em>or <em>whose</em>. Therefore, in the correct sentence, the window that provides the best natural light is the one in the living room -not any other.

A letter explaining an unexpected absence or something else unexpected​
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Letter writing about an unexpected absence.

Explanation:

To,

My dear friend Rick

I hope you are not angry with me. I know I promised to be there to see you awarded by the university. And I am so sorry to miss that. But I have a valid reason for skipping that.

Just a day before your event, my father got a heart attack and we had to get him straight to the hospital. And considering the seriousness of the situation, the doctor has advised us to be admitted for some days just to keep my dad under observation. And with my mother's condition, I am the only one available to stay with him. So, I had to stay there and take care of things. I didn't even get the chance to inform you and I apologize for that.

I will definitely make up for my absence. I only hope that you understand my situation and forgive me. Since we are still in the hospital, I can't go anywhere. But I will visit you soon.

Take care and will see you soon.  

Lots of love,

Jackie.
