Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

A simile is when a direct comparison is made between dissimilar things using "like" or "as". This literary technique is used to provide a more detailed and understandable description of the concerned elements/things.

The given quote is from Act I scene iii of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". Spoken by the Nurse, the quote is from when the Nurse revealed to Lady Capulet about Juliet's childhood incident where she had fallen and hit her forehead. This resulted in a big bump on the forehead, which the Nurse admits is <em>"a bump as big as a young cockerel's stone."</em> The use of the comparison word "as" makes it a simile, where the bump is compared to a rooster's testicle.

Thus, the correct answer is a simile.

"Juana, considering the matter, threw caution to the winds."
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

(<em>Infinitive Phrase) to the winds</em>, (Gerund) Considering<u>, (Verbal phrase) - </u>

<u>Threw. </u>

Explanation:

Considering is the Gerund in this sentence.

Threw is the Verbal Phrase

"Juana, considering the matter, <u>threw</u> caution to the winds."

I cant write the same explantion because I forgot but, i hope you got all the notes that I did for you down..

But I can try to summarize

Verbal Phrase- It has to do with the action. For example: to the shopping mall or to the Candy Store.

Gerund- Always ends in<em> -ing </em>and if the verb is put in past tense then it ends in <em>-ed.</em>

Participle Phrase: A participle is a verbal ending in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).

If this gets deleted again please take a picture before so you can remember.

I hope this helped!
