Comment on the effective use of adjectives used to describe each of the seven ages.

English
1 answer:
My name is Ann [436]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as." Jacques, the speaker, uses several similes throughout the speech "The Seven Ages of Man" to compare various stages of man's life to different things. Discussing the second stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile when he compares a whining schoolboy reluctantly walking to class to a snail ("creeping like a snail"). Just as a snail moves slowly, the disgruntled boy reluctantly walks to school. In the third stage of man's life, the adolescent male is "sighing like furnace," which expresses the hot passions of young love. Discussing the fourth stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile to describe a soldier's facial features by writing that it is "bearded like a pard." A "pard" is an old word for a leopard. Shakespeare is essentially saying that the young solider's beard is patchy and spotted like a leopard's coat.

What is phonetic transcription?
ASHA 777 [7]

To most of my research so far, it is the visual of speech sounds. When you look through a dictionary, you'll usually see these things under the main word you're looking for.

For example, you take a word like "Seahorse". You have the word type, and below the word type, you see some fancy looking text.

I will bold this mini dictionary bit for you to show you what we're focusing on.

Seahorse

Noun

/ˈsēhôrs/

The text in bold here is what you're looking for when you want to find the "Phonetic Transcription." Hope this helps!

Read the excerpt from “Like Mexicans.”
zimovet [89]
The correct answer is C. <span>Soto relates a story from his life to make a point about what it means to live in a multicultural society.

The other answers can be eliminated because this excerpt is not criticizing marriage, presenting guidelines on how to live, or showing how one's heritage can limit choices.

Instead, he is relating a story from his life to show what it means to live in a multicultural society. Ultimately, even though people may be from different cultures, they still share many similarities. This is made clear by the final line: Her people were like Mexicans, only different.</span>
