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.

1. Suppose the writer's purpose had been to describe the Moffats' perception of Meg. Did the writer accomplish this goal?
Serga [27]

Answer: No, because the essay is about Meg’s perception of herself.

Explanation:

Nowhere in the essay does it state any opinion or perception about Meg through the eyes of the Moffats. It’s more describing the evolution of Meg herself and how she starts to enjoy emulating the Moffats in ways (like dressing and mannerisms) and how she starts to feel about home.

Please help number 1 which sentence uses intransitive verb
beks73 [17]

Answer:I believe it is the third one.

Explanation:(definition to help with similar questions in the future) In grammar, an intransitive verb does not allow a direct object. This is distinct from a transitive verb, which takes one or more objects. The verb property is called transitivity. Intransitive verbs are often identified as those that can't be followed by who or what.
