MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1. Onomatopoeia → The egg cracked open on the edge of the forest green dish, and the contents <u><em>sizzled</em></u> when they hit the red-hot pan.

2. Alliteration → George wanted to show Bonnie how much he loved her with breakfast in bed on her birthday.

3. Simile → He slid the spatula under the pancake on the other burner and flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

4. Personification → Shortly after, the bagel jumped up out of the toaster,...

5. Oxymoron → The sweet bitter cranberry juice poured into a glass was final touch.,

6. Metaphor →  George was no chef, but he thought it looked awfully good.

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia is known to be the formation of a word by using a sound that is associated with what it is named. e.g sizzled

Alliteration is the use of the same letter to begin words in a sentence. In this paragraph, we see alliteration used in: Bonnie...breakfast...bed...birthday

Oxymoron is known to be a figure of speech which seems contradictory e.g bitter sweet.

Personification is the figure of speech where human characteristics are given to inanimate object. e.g the bagel jumped.

Simile has to do with the comparison of two things using <em>as</em> or <em>like. </em><em>e.g:</em><em> ...</em>flicked his wrist like he was waving a wand.

Metaphor is a figure of speech which compares two things in an indirect way without the use of <em>as</em> or<em> like</em>. e.g: George was no chef,...

Why is this not an appropriate research paper topic? Why driver education should be offered free of charge at my high school.
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Here are the options to the questions:  

A. It is too broad of a subject.  

B. It is too narrow of a subject.

C. It is not re-searchable.  

D. It involves opinion.

The answer is B. It is too narrow of a subject.

A research paper is a form of academic writing based on the original study on a specific topic by its author and the review and interpretation of the results of the research. Based on the above question, the reason why driver education should be offered free of charge at my high school is not an appropriate re-searchable paper is because it is too narrow, not much to put down. The topic is a good argumentative/editorial piece, but not ideal for a research paper.

Why did some Americans defend the community reinvestment act of 1977 during the Great Recession
Mumz [18]

Answer:Congress enacted the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) in 1977 to encourage banks and thrift institutions to “serve the convenience and needs of the communities in which they are chartered to do business,” including low- and moderate-income (LMI) communities, and to do so in a manner “consistent with the safe and sound operation of such institutions.” The CRA requires each federal bank regulator, including the Federal Reserve, to evaluate the extent to which banks address the credit needs of LMI neighborhoods in their geographic markets. While research generally indicates the CRA has increased lending to LMI communities, the Act has been a source of debate since its passage.
