Answer:

Hyperbole.

Explanation:

Hyperbola means exaggeration as a written stylistic means. Hyperbola is a language image in which an object is depicted in distorted proportions, greatly exaggerated. Hyperbola has been widely utilized, for example, in folklore, lyric, burlesque, satire, and humorous literature. Hyperbola can be used to enhance the central idea of a text. Many expressions are so used in everyday language that they are not perceived as hyperbolic. For example, the reply "I haven't seen you in a hundred years" or "the room was quite full" are hyperbolic.

Complete the conversations. Use prepositions of place and the verb be or the simple present tense. 1. A: Where are your sister's

aliya0001 [1]

Answer and Explanation:

1. A: Where is your sister's apartment? B: Her apartment is on Green Street.

Since "apartment" is a singular noun, we should use the third person singular of the verb be to refer to it - "is". The address is incomplete. When we only have the street name, we use the preposition"on".

2. A: Where do you study English? B: We study at the school around the corner.

We know we are supposed to use "study" because it is used in the answer. We need the auxiliary "do" for the question referring to the second person singular/plural. We use the preposition "at" to refer to a school when we perform the action of studying or attending classes.

3. A: Does your neighbor work at a bank? B: No. She works at a bookstore.

We know we are supposed to use "work" because it is used in the answer. We need the auxiliary "does" for the question referring to the third person singular. We use the preposition "at" to mention the place where someone works.

4. A: Where do your parents live ? B: They live at 58 Gray Street.

We know we are supposed to use "live" because it is used in the answer. We need the auxiliary "do" for the question referring to the second person singular/plural. We use the preposition "at" with complete addresses.

in a essay explain how the alliteration in full fathom five helps convey the atmosphere of the poem . Think about where the poem

Bumek [7]

Alliteration helps convey the mood of the poem because it is describing the bones of someone's father resting at the bottom of the ocean. The repetition of sounds, especially the 'f' and 's' sounds, make a sound that resembles the rush of waves or the sound you hear if you're underwater.

Two examples are in the first line, the 'f' sound is repeated in "Full Fathom Five thy Father lies". In lines 4-7, the 's' sound is repeated in "Suffer a Sea-change / Into Something rich and Strange. / Sea-nymphS". Again, those two sounds represent the sound and feeling of being underwater.
