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. :)

Read the sentence. The surface of the pond was a mirror reflecting the summer clouds. Which type of figurative language is used
vaieri [72.5K]
Hyperbole because they are statements that are meant not to be taken literal. A simile is comparing two things using the words "like" or "as". A metaphor is a word or phrase <span>is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Lastly, personification is making an non human object, act like a human.</span>

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Readers of Beowulf will likely view Grendel as a villain. Readers of Grendel, however, will likely view the character as more sympathetic.

Explanation:

Beowulf is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon.  In the poem, Grendel is described as a man-eating monster, incapable of feeling, whose only purpose is to kill.

However, in John Gardner's version "Grendel", we are presented with this character under a completely different light. He is not a monster as portrayed in Beowulf. Grendel has feelings; he suffers. People are, unfortunately, incapable of understanding him due to his appearance and his inability to communicate. He is likely to be more sympathetic to readers as someone who wishes to be accepted, but is mistreated instead.

Lillian parents are farmers. There are two types of fertilizers on the market. Both brands claim to grow carrots fastest. Plan a
liq [111]

After reading the instructions, we can identify the independent, dependent, and control variables as the following:

1. Independent variable: The two types of fertilizers that will be used.

2. Dependent variable: How fast the plants will grow with each fertilizer.

3. Control variable: The plants that will not have any fertilizer added to them.

  • When conducting an experiment such as the one described in the question, we are looking for the relationship between two things.
  • In this case, we want to see if and how the fertilizers affect the plants' growth.
  • The independent variable is the factor we change in order to affect something. Here, it is the use of fertilizers.
  • The dependent variable is the thing affected by the independent variable. Here, it is the plants' growth.
  • To make sure that the independent variable is affecting the dependent one, we need a control variable.
  • In this case, we would select a few plants to not receive any fertilizer. That way, we can compare the plants and see if the fertilizer is making any difference.
