Answer:

C. Apostrophe

Explanation:

Apostrophe:

Apostrophe is a figure of speech by using which a writer or speaker addresses an absent/dead person as if he/she were present, or an inanimate object or idea as if it were a living thing and listening to him/her (speaker).

Examples:  

"O wild West Wind"

"O, my cell phone, you were so dear to me."

Hyperbole: It is an exaggerated statement not to be taken literally.

Examples:

"The sun came just meters away from the earth."

"She would conquer the entire universe with her smile"

Simile:

It is a figure of speech in which the writer makes comparison between two things which may have some relation but are different. Simile always uses comparison words such as, like, as, similar to etc.

Examples:

"He is as brave as a lion"

"Life is like a dream"

Litotes:

It is an understatement in which a positive statement is made by negating its opposite. Or use of double negatives to make a positive statement.

Examples:

"It was not one of my best days" to mean It was one of my bad days."

"The books was not bad" to mean the book was good."

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Telling the truth can be very helpful for you and for future situations. Lying can get you into a lot of trouble. Little lies can also turn into big lies that never end. Even if it is hard to tell the truth in some stressful situations, you should. It will make people think of you as a trustworthy and loyal person. Some people might think that its ok to tell a little lie to not be hurtful. You can still tell the truth and phrase it in a way that won't be hurtful. Its selfish to lie in any situation.

What are some of the answers that people in Berkeley give when asked how many bells there are in the Campanile?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Finished in 1914, the Campanile is the world's third-largest bell-and-clock tower, with 61 bells in the carillon that weigh from 19 to 10,500 pounds and are rung three times a day.

Explanation:

There are 53 bells that make up the carillon in the Campanile. The largest one--the bell that chimes the hour--weighs 7 tons and has rung almost 2 million times. Most bell towers have between one and five bells, but a single tower might hold dozens. Sather Tower (1914), known to most as the Campanile, is perhaps UC Berkeley's most famous symbol. Visible for miles, it stands 307 feet tall and is the third tallest bell and clock tower in the world.
