Hello there!

"I was a shipwreck as I was getting ready for that presentation."

Correct answer C: metaphor.

A Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit or implied comparison between two things that are unrelated, but which share some common characteristics because of it's meaning.

In this case, shipwreck is a noun, and it means the sinking of a ship; failure and destruction. Someone can not be literally a shipwreck, but, metaphorically, it means they can be a failure.  :)

Hope this helps.

write a report to your teacher on how your perfect were elected in your school at the beginning of this academic year.​
Phoenix [80]

Explanation:

Yesterday's prefect induction at XYZ School was carried out after a mini election at the school.

This mini election also prepared eligible student voters for the September elections.

We agree with school Principal Sir John when he said-^ triangleleft It a new initiative because we are having our national election this year. We wanted to empower students to independently think of those who they

wish to lead the school, the teachers don't have any say at all." Students nominated their own form captains and the whole school nominated six students to be school heads. They were given three weeks to campaign. They put up their own posters and organised classroom campaigns.

Every recess and lunch break they were given a chance to talk to students on why they should be elected as Head Boy or Head Girl. For these students becoming a prefect is a great way to end time at the school, and is a massive advantage for them in the future.

Research shows that many successful business people held positions of responsibility while they were at school, and school prefect looks great on anyone's curriculum vitae (CV).

For the voting students they listened to all campaigns by the aspiring six candidates for the top prefect posts - Head Boy and Head Girl. They were given the right to vote for the best candidate and there was no interefence from anybody.

The Head Boy, Roseru Naiwasetawa, admitted to the Fiji Sun that he had campaigned hard to get the top prefect post.

"My campaign team put up posters around the school telling the students of what I'll do for them if they vote for me as head boy of the school," he said

Don't you think other schools should follow LMS way in the selection of their head prefects next year? In many schools teachers select prefects and students have to accept their selection.

Surely students should have a say in the selection of their leaders because they would be their representatives to the teachers.
