English

Anestetic [448]3 years ago

Answer:

Metaphor is the answer.

Explanation:

A metaphor is rhetorical device and also a type of comparison. Contrary to the simile, where the comparison is explicit and stated with words such as <em>like</em> or <em>as</em>, a metaphor compares two things that are not really related. In this case, the train is given the characteristics of a horse when the speaker points out how the train goes downhill chasing something. Due to this, metaphor is the answer.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By the courts deciding on a "separate but equal" decision, this case became the legal basis for racial segregation in the United States for the next 50 years. This was essentially slavery called by another name. The ramifications of this case are still felt to this day. African Americans were given poor healthcare,education and transportation,while their public facilities such as water fountains and libraries, were barely usable.

1. Do you like India? Yes, I ____. 2. Does he go to the company everyday? Yes, he _____. 3. _____ you fine? No, I ______. 4. ___
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

1. Do you like India? Yes, I do.

2. Does he go to the company everyday? Yes, he does.

3. Are you fine? No, I'm not.

4. Is he going to the bank? Yes, he is.

5. Do they speak Korean? No, they don't.

6. Am I late? Yes, you are.

7. Does Bob have children? No, he doesn't.

8. Is Alice from Asia? No, she isn't.

9. Do we need to work tomorrow? Yes, we do.

10. Are we going to the restaurant tonight? No, we aren't.

11. Do Jimmy and Ben work together? Yes, they do.

12. Is it a new car? No, it isn't.

13. Are you 30 years old? No, I'm not.

14. Is the company in Brazil? Yes, it is.

15. Are Bob and Sam going home? No, they aren't.

Explanation:

The questions above are using the simple present and the present continuous tenses. To ask questions in the simple present, we use the auxiliary verb "do" for the persons "I, you, we, they". The auxiliary becomes "does" for the persons "he, she, it".

If, however, we are asking questions using the verb to be - both in the simple present and the present continuous -, we'll use "am" for "I", "are" for "you, we, they", and "is" for "he, she, it".

When replying with short answers, as is the case here, we must repeat the auxiliary. It is important to note that negative short answers use the contracted form of the auxiliary - don't, doesn't, isn't, aren't.

Then, the bug ran from 81 to 46. What distance did it cover? If the average speed of the bug during this run was 14 units per se
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The bug took 2.5 seconds

Explanation:

the bug went from unit 81 to 46, to know the number of units we would have to subtract these two quantities:

<em>81-46 = 35 units. </em>

Now to know the time in which he traveled this distance they mention the speed that is 14 units per second, then:

<em>35 units / 14 units per second = 2.5 seconds. </em>

the bug took 2.5 seconds to make this tour.
