The sentences that contain similes are:

✅-Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out <u>like</u> a sore thumb.

✅-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

How does the narrative depicted in “The Epic of Gilgamesh" best fit the definition of an epic?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

B. It is told in a serious manner using elevated language.

Explanation:

Considered to be the earliest surviving great work of literature,<em> The Epic of Gilgamesh</em> is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia, written around 1800 BC. The protagonist is Gilgamesh, the historical king of the Sumerian city-state of Uruk.

An epic poem is a lengthy narrative poem that celebrates the accomplishments of a legendary or traditional hero, who represents a culture's heroic ideal. The setting of an epic is large, sometimes worldwide or even larger (for example, the plot of <em>Paradise Lost</em> takes place on earth, heaven, and hell). Superhuman elements are common, and gods and other supernatural beings take interest or participate in the adventures of the hero. Epic poems are always written in elevated style. <em>The Epic of Gilgamesh</em> fits all the characteristics of this literary genre.

Based on this, we can see that statement B is the correct one. Statements C and D are not characteristics of epics. Epics do not have to originate in ancient civilizations. For example, <em>Paradise Lost</em> is an epic written in the 17th century by English poet John Milton.
