A hyperbole is either a word or a sentence in a text that shows an overstatement (an exaggeration), it does not have to be literal; it is just a way to express your ideas in order to generate a contrast or to get the reader's attention.
In the excerpt the hyperboles (exaggerations) are:
- <u><em>Your name--think of it! Man,</em></u><u><em> they'll flock in droves</em></u><u><em>, these rich Londoners; they'll fight for that stock! </em></u>
When the writer says <em>"they'll flock in droves", </em>he refers to a very big amount of people together.
- <em><u>In less than twenty-four hours London was </u></em><em><u>abuzz</u></em><em><u>!</u></em>
When the writer uses the word <em>"abuzz", </em>it does not mean the city was on fire; it means the city was lively busy.
Option 1 (It describes the days being discussed) is correct since it refers to a particular set of days, those in which the subject of the sentence goes jogging, and a particular moment of the day which is the morning.
Option 3 (It creates a compound-complex sentence) is correct because the sentence contains two independent clauses and a dependent clause.
The two independent clauses are: "<em>My mind seems to process ideas faster</em>" and "<em>My mood is more positive</em>". These two independent clauses are joined by the coordinating conjunction "<em>and</em>". The compound-complex sentence also includes a dependent clause "<em>On days when I go jogging in the morning</em>" which is dependent on the two main independent clauses previously mentioned.
It is possible that Hurston chose to tell the story within a framework to give Janie a voice in the novel. Had Hurston relied solely on a third person narrative, Janie would have had no voice. Using first person narrative in this framework proves that Janie has gained strength and independence as a result of her lifelong search for true love.
The dependent clause of the sentence is "If we are going to make it to the movie on time," because it depends on the next part of the sentence to make sense. Without the next half of the sentence, the clause left alone wouldn't make any sense. The other clause is independent, meaning that it still makes sense when it stands without the dependent clause.
Answer:
City, laws, justice, kings.
Explanation:
To answer this question, you must first know what a <u>noun</u> is, which is a person, place, or thing. Look through the list, and you will find out that <u>expected</u> is not a person, place, or thing; it is a verb.
Now you're left with Mesopotamia, city, laws, justice, and kings. A quick tip amongst nouns is that <em>capitalized</em> and <em>eponymous</em> (something that is given a name to) nouns are most probably proper nouns, which is not what we're looking for here. Cross out <u>Mesopotamia</u>, and you are finished.
Hope this helps! :)
