Answer:

Jim lifted the heavy bag of concrete because he was as strong as an ox.

Explanation:

It is the fourth one because it is the only sentence describing someone/thing as strong. (as an ox.)

The first one has nothing to do with being strong.

The second one would be correct if it was "The boat was as strong as an ox as it persevered through the rough waters.", but since that isn't the sentence, it wouldn't work.

The third one is incorrect because if the toy was made to be as strong as an ox, why is it breaking into tiny pieces?

Therefore, the fourth one is right. :)

What does the sea symbolize in the poem?
lianna [129]

Answer:

I think the sea might symbolize a place that brings comfort, yet also brings sadness. I the first couple of sentences, the text shows how the sea is calm and how the air smelled sweet, revealing that the sea was a place that brings you comfort. Another part that supports the sea being a place that brings comfort and sadness in the last sentence which reads "...Begin, and cease, and then again begin, with tremulous cadence slow, and bring the eternal note of sadness in." This reveals that although the sea brings comfort and tranquility, it too does bring sadness.

Hope this helped~!

The mission words are <em>...unless you put that personality </em><u><em>in a believable and significant social context.</em></u>

<u></u>

<h3>Full Quote</h3>

You can't say anything meaningful about the mystery of personality unless you put that personality in a believable and significant social context.

<h3>O'Connor's Idea about Characterization</h3>

In the "<em>Purple Elephant Theory of Literature"</em> for instance, O'Connor strives to show that people are like purple elephants...that is unique. Because, humans are social in nature, the social context of a character is very critical.
