✅-The finch was <u>as</u> busy as a bee, building her nest.

✅-The cabin steward <u>as</u> a solemn sentinel on the shore of the lake.

A <u>simile</u> is using words like as or like is comparing a Subject to another thing. A <u>metaphor</u> is describing something but not using like or as.

The correct answers are B. Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out like a sore thumb, D. Anika's hands were shaking like leaves as she got up to give her presentation, E. The finch was as busy as a bee, building her nest, and F. The cabin stood as a solemn sentinel on the shore of the lake

Explanation:

The simile is a literary figure used in texts such as poetry to convey a deep meaning by comparing two or more ideas, objects or elements. This literary figure can be identified because different from metaphor, it uses explicit words to establish a comparison; this includes the words "like" and "as". This implies the sentences that contain simile are

  • Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out like a sore thumb-because in this the suit and tie are compared to a sore thumb using "like"
  • Anika’s hands were shaking like leaves as she got up to give her presentation- because the way Anika shakes is compared to the movement of leaves using "as"
  • The finch was as busy as a bee, building her nest-because "as" is used to compare the finch and the bee
  • The cabin stood as a solemn sentinel on the shore of the lake- because "as" creates a comparison between the cabin and a solemn sentinel

jekas [21]

The correct answer is letter b.

The excerpt is written in the Simple Past and narrates a series of events that happened in a sequence.

Notice the verbs in the Simple Past : wept, wailed, fell, faded and died.

There is a verb missing  in the part " the earth stiff and cold"  The verb is grow, the Simple Past form is grew, therefore " the earth grew stiff and cold" is the correct way.

Letter A is wrong because there's a verb missing.

Letter C and letter D " the earth was growing stiff and cold" the verb grow is in the Past Continuos, " the leaves were falling from the sorrowing  trees"  the verb fall is also in the Past Continous breaking the pattern stablished.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

-cratic means "a type of government". So, we know that "autocratic" is a type of government.

We also know that "auto" means "self". If you put "auto" and "cratic" together, you get a "self type of government".

So, in the reading, we can say that "autocratic" is a rule where only one person carries all the power in the government, like a dictatorship. We can also tell that an autocracy is a negative thing, as people are afraid of the government and there is political unrest.

Hope this helps!
