Which type of figurative language is used to describe ichabod crane’s person?

English
1 answer:
tigry1 [53]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

None of the alternatives are correct.

Explanation:

Ichabod Crane is in fact described using figurative language, but the figures of speech used are the metaphor and the simile, as can be seen in the excerpt below:

"hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves... feet that might have served for shovels... his head... looked like a weathercock perched on his shoulders."

The metaphor is the figure of speech that presents an implicit and subjective comparison between two elements that have something in common, while the simile is the figure of language that presents an explicit comparison between two elements that do not have similarities, but that can develop a new meaning when compared.

Ichabod Crane is the main character of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," a story about a village that is haunted by a headless knight who decapitates those he encounters.

If war broke out, might it be unlikely that fighting would happen in Britain?
BabaBlast [244]
I think it would be likely.  Britain is a country that is well-developed and has a decent military.  If you are referring to war in London or other big cities, I think the armies would try to keep warfare on the battlefield, not urban areas.  However, to counter that, (correct me if I'm wrong), I believe London is on the water, so a type of naval invasion would be likely.  It also depends on who the fighters are.  Britain v. U.S.A. for example, evacuations of cities would begin, and it's likely we'd see another Refugee Crisis like the one happening now in Europe, but smaller.  But the U.K is part of the U.N., a huge group of unified countries.  If war were to break out, it's likely forces would be pushed out easily with the help of other powers/countries.

When Crane speaks of a vociferous altercation, he means ______________________.
Wewaii [24]

The word "altercation" refers to a disagreement or a fight, particularly one that is heated, angry or noisy. The word "vociferous" means loud, noisy or vehement. Therefore, a "vociferous altercation" refers to a fight in which the people interacting are shouting in an angry and noisy way.
