Answer:

  • The lake was as warm as a Jacuzzi
  • We moved along the lake like a sloth
  • the stars glitter like Christmas lights.

Explanation:

<u>The simile is the figure of speech that compares one thing to another in order to add up to the imagination of the description and make it more vivid.</u> It highlights the certain characteristics of one thing to another using the words “<u>as</u>” and “<u>like</u>”

The parts of the passage that use the simile are:

  • <u>The lake was as warm as a Jacuzzi</u> – the author tries to underline the <u>warmth </u>of the water with this analogy by comparing it to the experience in the spa.
  • <u>We moved along the lake like a sloth </u>– with this simile, the author is describing the way they moved in the both, underling that they were <u>very slow</u>.
  • <u>the stars glitter like Christmas lights</u>. - author compares the stars to Christmas lines to put the accent on their <u>brightness and shiness.</u>

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The narrator talks about how the fire wasting a man that was tied to a stake. Assuming that the fire is symbolic for fate, it makes sense for this passage to describe parraylissis. Especially when looking in the context of the last sentence, describing the man as a "unalterable mold" "made of solid bronze" someone who is unaltered is unable to move, and solid bronze is unmovable by human hands after a certain amount is gathered. I was debating between A and D though, so I'll tell you why I didn't pick D. d refers to nature and mans lack of ability to change it, however where nature is involved in the passage (fire) the man doesn't try to shape or change it, it changes the man.

How to write a paragraph about an adventurous experience that consists atleast 200 words​
Llana [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:

Explanation:

Today was gonna be a great day. I knew it would be. The reason was that we were going to scale Mount Kilimanjaro in one day. It sounded like a world record to me! But mountaineers are tough and never give up, so I knew I could do this. I met my teammates at the foot of the mountain with my gear. We were racing against another team and they had already started climbing the mountain. With no time to waste, we started climbing the mountain. During the mountain climb, an event took place. We had to stop for an hour at a cabin located some feet above the mountain. So as I was saying, during the mountain climb, came an avalanche. One of our team members got hit by a heavy rock and went rolling down. He managed to cling to a tree branch though, i rescued him after a good thirty minutes since it was very hard. The rest of the journey was eventless and we finally reached our rest sport. Then after an hour we continued hiking and found the other team stuck in the snow, they weren't able to free themselves. We completed the rest of the hike, put our flag on the peak of the mountain. I felt immense pleasure, that I was able to scale the mountain in a day. Then we rescued the other team's members and went back to our cabins to rest. It was an amazing and truly spectacular adventure.

Hope this helps....

Have a nice day!!!!
