What is the literal meaning of "the wind combed their leaves into flying crests like a strange an fantastic coiffure".

English
1 answer:
patriot [66]3 years ago

Answer:

The literal meaning is that the wind created a hairstyle using leaves instead of hair.

Explanation:

The literal meaning of a sentence refers to the basic meaning of each word used in the construction of the sentence, regardless of the context to which it is applied, but rather its pure and simple meaning.

An example of this can be shown with the sentence presented in the question above. If we read this sentence without considering the literal meaning, but rather the context that it expresses, we would conclude that the phrase refers to the wind's ability to swing the leaves of the trees. However, interpreting the sentence in a literal sense, we would conclude that the wind uses the leaves to create strange but admirable hairstyles.

Which sentence is written correctly?
Savatey [412]

Hey!

Hope this helps...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before I state the answer, we have to find which answer is NOT correct.


We can see that A and C, are incorrect because they say the word "except their reward" which is talking about excluding something, not "accept their reward" which it gathering or agreeing to something.

We also see that B is incorrect because when it says "Accept for Bill," this just doesn't even make sense because the word "accept" is gathering or agreeing to something.

So...

The correct answer is:

D.) Except for Bill, all of the players were present to accept their reward...
