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>

The narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
crimeas [40]

Answer:Editor’s note

This version of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass was adapted from The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, by Frederick Douglass. The Guttenberg file does not tell us which witness was used in making their digital edition. The edition below is only a slightly modified version of the Guttenberg text, and therefore should not be taken too seriously as an edition. I use the text mostly to show a few affordances of using Ed for long form narrative. This page, for example, showcases a different sidebar than the rest of our sample site, with a table of content of the novel generated out of metadata in the source file. In addition, reading morsels of the novel on your different devices can give you a sense of the experience of reading prose using Ed, and shows you an example of the optional sidebar with a table of contents. A few other features of this page are described in more detail in the Documentation.

Q3. Fill in the blanks with correct form of the Verb given in bracket:
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Indians <u>are </u>known for their hospitality. They feel that guest is a person to be <u>honoured </u>and respected and <u>serving </u>him is a sacred duty. My mother <u>is</u> very particular about <u>keeping </u>things in their proper place, but the moment Mr. Narayan <u>arrived</u>, our guest room as well as our drawing room is in a total mess. He is very unsystematic and <u>throws </u>things here and there. As long as Mr. Narayan is in the house. our whole routine<u> is going to remain </u>upset.

Explanation:

Here, we need to pay attention to the tenses and voice of verbs.

The present simple tense (<em>are, throws</em>) is used to talk about habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

The past simple tense (<em>arrived</em>) is used to talk about actions that took place and finished in the past.

The construction <em>is going to + infinitive</em><em> (is going to remain) </em>can be used for predictions based on something we can see or hear now.

Gerunds (<em>serving, keeping</em>) are nouns derived from verbs by adding -ing.

The passive voice (<em>to be honored</em>) is used when we want to emphasize the action and the object of a sentence rather than the subject.
