(NEED HELP +50 POINTS) Read the paragraph below and color code examples you find of metaphor, simile, onomatopoeia, personificat

ion, oxymoron, and/or alliteration.
Richard drummed his fingers on the arm of the chair waiting for his name to be called. The whirring of the drills increased his anxiety, but he held his head high with a sort of cowardly courage. Richard brushed and flossed his teeth like clockwork to avoid the wrath of the dentist’s tools, so the news that he had four cavities certainly took him by surprise. He looked over to see the receptionist’s poppy red hair peeking up from the high desk. When her voice called out his name, he felt like he was sinking in quicksand. A polite, sad smile came across his face as he stood up for his appointment.

PLZ ANSWER urgent need help and questions is at the bottom multiple choice.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 3.To dress up and parade certain streets for an hour every day, to stand talking in doorways, or drive out in a fine carriage, was not the sort of exercise she liked, and Fan would take no other.

Explanation:

The sentence that best supports Polly’s reasons for keeping her outings a secret from Fan was "To dress up and parade certain streets for an hour every day, to stand talking in doorways, or drive out in a fine carriage, was not the sort of exercise she liked, and Fan would take no other".

From the text, we can see that Polly's idea of an exercise was quite different from what Fan wanted. This is supported by the above answer and this resulted in her keeping her outing as a secret.

2. According to Father Hooper's explanation at the end of The Minister's Black Veil,* what point is he trying to make by wearing
malfutka [58]

Answer:

O He means to show that everyone, not just he, has experienced sin and sorrow and should therefore try not to hide from others or from God.

Explanation:

Nathan iel Ha wtho rne's "The Minister's Bla ck Ve il" revolves around the story of a church priest who had a black ve il on his face no matter what. This black ve il would stay on him, unremoved, till his death.

De s pite many que sti ons and req u ests from E li z a beth, his girl friend, Fat her H oop er refused to let the ve il go n or would he all ow her to have a pe ek at his face once. Towards the end of the story, at his de at h bed, the dying H o oper refused to let the v eil go des pite the mi ni st er from West bury asking "Are you ready for the lif tin g of the v e il that sh u ts in ti me fr om et er ni ty?" Father H ooper instead told him that, like others use various means to hide their trans gress ions and sins, his v eil is taken as a means to hide sins. And in that discourse, he expressed his belief that everyone hides their s ins but that should not be how it should be. The si ns and sorrows should not be hidden from God and from others.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
