Answer:

simile

Explanation:

In the case of similes, we are made explicitly aware that a comparison is being made due to the use of “like” or “as.” (He’s like a shell of a man.)

For fun, the next time someone corrects you and says, “That’s a simile, not a metaphor,” you can respond by letting them know that a simile is a type of metaphor, just like sarcasm is a type of irony.

Resist the urge to be sarcastic in your delivery.

Giving characters struggles and motivation
Shalnov [3]
To give your characters struggles and/or motivation, you need to find something they want to strive toward. Your character is a person, just like anyone in real life. They have goals, they have things they hate. They have a backstory that could provide a reason for their struggles, such as they grew up in a fairly wealthy home, but now they got disowned and are dealing with how to make their own money.
Motivation tends to come from a struggle. For example, the character that is struggling with how to make their own money also has a motivation: money. They are used to having money, that now that they don't, they're going to try to get that money back. Sometimes, the character will have a lull in their motivation, which gives a perfect chance for a climax in the story. Something big happens to give them their push. Maybe they lose the apartment they were staying in because they were too lazy to find a job. Or maybe their significant other tells them that because they're such a worthless, jobless loser, that they're breaking up. No matter what this big event is, it shakes the character out of whatever lull they've been having and shows them that they need to be able to overcome their struggle, therefore providing them with their motivation back tenfold.
I hope this explains this well enough for you, but I can always try to answer in more detail if you'd like.

What can the reader infer about Cassius in the passage?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

C. He wants Brutus to trust him.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" revolves around the death of Caesar at the hands of his close allies. Moreover, it also delves into the fight for power after his death and touches the themes of friendship, loyalty, power, greed, etc.

In the given excerpt from Act I scene ii of the play, Cassius is seen trying to influence Brutus to support his cause- that of murdering Julius Caesar. He begins <em>"since you know you cannot see yourself So well as by reflection, I, your glass, Will modestly discover to yourself That of yourself which you yet know not of"</em>. Through his use of words, we can infer that Cassius is trying to influence Brutus to trust him.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
