English
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Matilda compared her daddy to Shakespeare in a way that <em>he was the opposite of him.</em> His dad always said <em>having a good strong hair meant having a good strong brain underneath,</em> but Shakespeare was bald which meant <em>his dad didn't have a good strong brain underneath.</em>

Explanation:

The question above refers to the Chapter entitled, "The Platinum-Blond Man" of the Matilda book.

At this time, Matilda thought that his father deserved a <em>"severe form of punishment" </em>after she was called a<em> cheat </em>and a <em>liar </em>by his father just because she was able to answer an arithmetic problem. Her revenge happened after they had a conversation about his dad's hair. She compared it <em>sarcastically </em>to that of Shakespeare.

What were the EPA and NASA formed as?
mafiozo [28]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The EPA and NASA were formed as an </em><u><em>executive agency </em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

NASA was shaped in 1958 when Congress passed the National Aeronautics Act while EPA describes the Protection of Environmental Agency. President Richard Nixon formed it in 1970 through an official request.

Both the EPA and NASA were framed as official organizations under the influence and backing of the U.S. Government. This implies they work under the offices in mid-1970, because of increased open worries about breaking down city air, common regions covered with garbage, and urban water supplies tainted with risky debasements.

Why does the narrator compare the dirty pair of socks to a "sad little salted<br>slug"?​
PIT_PIT [208]

<u>Reason for comparing the dirty pair of socks to a "sad little salted </u>

<u>slug":</u>

A slug is a small but slimy creature that gets dehydrated when enough salt is poured upon it. It loses water, shrivels up looking dirty and eventually dies.  Apparently, a salted slug is not a happy creature as it is sure to die as soon as it loses all its water. Thus, it is a ‘sad little salted slug’.

The narrator in the three minute fiction ‘Not That I Care’ describes one of the pair of socks left by a character Marcus making use of simile, a literary device of comparison. The comparison is made between common characteristics of the two things compared.

Out of the two socks forming one pair, one lies in front, easily visible, dirty and all curled up while the other one is hiding under the bed.

The comparison implies that it was mucky and repelling like a salted slug.  It was lying unattended like a salted slug devoid of vitality. Simply thrown away carelessly in the house, it seemed sad too. The narrator had no intention of touching it, so the chances of its revival were bleak.
