Answer:

The simile is comparing life to a box of chocolates means that life is full of surprises, and there is no prediction of what will happen.

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used by writers in making a comparison between two dissimilar or unrelated things. It uses words such as "like", "as" in making the comparison.

In the given statement, the mother compares life to a box of chocolates. This means that <u>life is unpredictable, full of surprises. And there is no knowing what will happen.</u>

What effect does the phrase “my father intending to devote me, as the tithe of his sons, to the service of the Church” have on t
rodikova [14]

The correct answer for this question is A) It explains that at least one son must join the church (according to his dad)

The wording of this paragraph leads us to believe that the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' demonstrates <u><em>how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church</em></u>. This phrase denotes that none of his brothers chose to serve the church and had instead chosen different paths which led his dad to offer him as a last resource.

It could also imply the importance of church for his dad however thats entirely subjective.

This paragraph does not mention his brother's intelligence and definitely does not imply that he does not have a choice hence the wording ''my father intending to devote me (...)'' meaning his dad tried to offer him but he later decided otherwise.

Hope this helps!

<span>Read the excerpt from Montaigne's "To the Reader" and answer the question. Had my intention been to seek the world's favour, I should surely have adorned myself with borrowed beauties: I desire therein to be viewed as I appear in mine own genuine, simple, and ordinary manner, without study and artifice: for it is myself I paint. The metaphor implied in these lines suggests to readers that they will find Montaigne's writing style unadorned. To be "genuine, simple and ordinary manners" suggests an unadorned writing style reflectling his own modest behaviour.</span>
