Answer:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn’t literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison.

Example:

Love is a battlefield.

Her tears were a river flowing down her cheeks.

Identify whether this sentence is written in active or passive voice. Spectators filled the stadium​
Paul [167]

Answer:

Active.

Explanation:

First one must  recognize the difference between active versus passive voice. Active voice is where the subject is put before the predicate, and passive is where the predicate ie put before the subject.

Example:

Sally <em>drove her car. </em>--> Active voice, because subject is first.

Subject  <em>   </em><em>predicate</em>

<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>  

<em>The car was driven </em>by Sally  --> Passive voice, because predicate is first.

<em>          predicate   </em>        Subject

<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>  

Furthermore, you can break down the predicate into the object and action. Using the same example below...

Sally <em>drove </em><u>her car </u>    --> Active, because subject is first.

subject  <em>action   </em>object<em>  </em>

<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>  

<u>The car </u><em>was driven by </em>Sally--> Passive, because action and object are first.

<u>Object</u><em>     action</em>          Subject

<em>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</em>  

In your example, your subject (Spectators) are first and your action and <em>object</em> (filled <em>the</em> <em>stadium</em>) are second. Therefore, it is active voice. (also, remember that your action and object can be combined to form the <u>predicate</u>.)

Hope this helps!

Read the passage from The Call of the Wild and choose the words that best describe the character of Billee.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Correct answer is A: It is a part of the exposition that describes Buck's

Explanation:

The story follows a dog named Buck, and all the misfortunes that happen to him. At one point of his life, he becomes a sled dog. It is true that in the lines following the mentioned paragraph, the author mentions that Buck welcomed these two dogs, but the accent of the story isn't really on Buck making friends. Also, there is mention about Spitz beating Billie and how Buck and Sol-leks got into a fight, but the accent of these paragraphs isn't on the fight. The writer rather focuses on the personal characteristics of each dog, which means that this is exposition that describes each of Buck's teammates.
