Answer:

The correct answer is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.

Explanation:

The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is an artificial word that supposedly means, "lung disease caused by inhaling very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs." It is used mainly as an example when speaking of very long words.  

A disease that meets the definition of the word is commonly called silicosis.

The 45-letter word was coined to be the longest in the English language. It is, in fact, the longest word to appear in an English dictionary, found in current editions of several dictionaries. It is usually abbreviated with the number P45.

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF YOU DO THIS FOR ME PLEASE
Furkat [3]

Answer:

I woke up on a typical quarantine day. Nothing to do, nowhere to go. As I walk into my kitchen, I realize my house is eerily quiet. "Mom...? Dad...?" I say into the quiet room. I search around the house and find nobody's home. "Weird..." I say to myself out loud. I walk back into the kitchen, hoping to find some food. I open a cupboard and an odd key falls out. I jump back in surprise. "Whoa, where'd you come from?" I ask. The key starts glowing dimly. I walk around with the key in my hand. As I pass an old painting hung in the kitchen, it glows brighter. I move aside the painting to reveal a secret door. I look around, just to make sure nobody's around. I put the key in the lock, and slowly push open the door. I stick my head in and look inside. Nothing but black and purple for miles. Suddenly, I lose my grip on the doorpost and fall in! "WHOA!" I shout with shock.

When I felt myself stop falling, I decided to open my eyes and what I saw was astounding. "Where am I?" As I look around, I see blue clouds, a bright sun, and large castles. I check my pockets and find the key. It stopped glowing for some reason. I decide to explorer to see if I can find a way home. Suddenly, out of no where, a horse comes running up to me and a girl hops off. "New around here?" She asks with a friendly smile spread across her face. "Uh, yea I guess you could say that," I reply, smiling back. "Well hop on and I'll give you a tour. My name's Jodie by the ways," she motions towards her horse. "I'm <u>(your name)</u>," I tell her as I hop on her horse. "Cool. Let me take you to the castle, that's where I live," she smiles proudly. We soon arrive to the castle, and the key starts dimly glowing again. "Quick warning, you can't get caught by anyone. If you're spotted, we'll both be in so much trouble," says Jodie nervously. "Gotcha, no getting busted." I reply. We walk into the castle, but didn't get any further than the main entrance when we were spotted. "RUN!" Shouts Jodie. We make a break for it and end up in the castle's gourmet kitchen. I lose Jodie on the way in. "Psst. Over here," she calls from her pantry. I quickly hop in, the key glowing brighter in my pocket. "It's not safe here for you, you better escape," Jodie says worriedly. "Don't worry, I got this," I reassure her. I take the key out of my pocket and move a barrel out of the way, revealing another door. "That wasn't there before?" Says Jodie, eyes wide. "Bye Jodie," I say, as I open the door and crawl inside, closing it behind me. "Wait!" She says, but it's too late. The door disappears as soon as it's shut, and I'm back in my kitchen. "Well that was weird. Maybe I'll keep this key to myself for now," I decide.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

a. Metaphor.

b. Personification.

c. Hyperbole.

d. Personification.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

a) Metaphor: Toivo is the cancer of my dreams and aspirations. Metaphor is an implied comparison without the use of the word as or like. It involves creating a direct similarity between two words or things.

b) Personification: Gadgets isolate us from the rest of the family members. Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.

c) Hyperbole: Pamue has been teaching here since stone age. Hyperbole is an unintentional or deliberate exaggeration (overstatement) of an event, situation or thing. The stone age was typically a period of uncivilization in which the people were uneducated and illiterate.

d) Personification: love is blind. It dragged her into that mess. Love is described as being blind whereas it's a feeling that cannot possess such quality.
