Answer:

simile

Explanation:

The sentence above presents a simile as a figurative language. The simile is characterized by comparing two different elements that have no relation to each other, but that express something that can be related. In the sentence above, we can see that the poet compared the ability to "last forever" with "fairytale monsters". This comparison was made between two different elements, as the simile approaches.

Replace the bolded noun or noun phrase with the correct objective pronoun acting as a direct object. Pauline met her nephew for
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Pauline met him for lunch.

Explanation:

<u>The object pronouns are: me, you, him, her, it, us, you, and them. They are called object pronouns precisely because they function as objects of verbs or prepositions in a sentence.</u> Unlike subject pronouns, object pronouns cannot perform an action.

In the case of the sentence "Pauline met her nephew for lunch," the noun phrase we need to replace is "her nephew". The noun "nephew" is singular and refers to a boy or a man. Therefore, we should use the object pronoun "him", which is third person singular, masculine. The correct sentence would be: Pauline met him for lunch.

A paragraph about travel
Lerok [7]

Answer:Most people agree travelling is a good thing. People think it’s exciting, almost invigorating to travel. Travelling is the best way to learn new things, whether it be a new language or new culture, because you’re experiencing it first hand instead of just reading or looking at pictures. It broadens your view of the world. For me travelling means stress and anxiety (both of which I try to block out). Travelling means being out of my comfort zone, especially when I’m with people I barely know; in this case, I was travelling with my aunt, uncle and cousin. Growing up, I was a sheltered child, so travelling meant leaving the familiarity of home and the people who kept me safe. I wasn’t one for travelling even the smallest of distances, but there I

I stared straight at the top right corner of the screen in front of me. “Inhale for four counts, hold for seven, exhale for eight,” she would say over the phone whenever this happened. “It’s okay, you’ll be okay,” I exhaled. “The second step is to stop negative thoughts; focus on the positive and don’t forget to breathe.” I sat back in the stiff airplane seat. The roof of the plane was not going to fall on me. The exits are not going to fly open and suck everyone and everything out, effectively throwing us out into the ocean. The most positive thought I could come up with was the thought of my grandparents. The point of the trip was to see them. They were the ones who took care of me when my parents were busy working. They were getting older and I had been told my grandfather was losing his memory. My mom wanted me to see them before it was too late. I kept telling myself I had to be there for them for all the times they were there for me. The security check and waiting to board the plane was all a blur. Before I knew it, the plane had taken off and I felt as if I was trapped in a gigantic commercial sized metal bird for 13

The air felt too thin and smelled like stale air mixed with the scent of old people. The seats were bent forward just a little too much that it strained my neck and my legs were starting to go numb from sitting in one spot for so long. The atmosphere in the plane felt wrong. There were so many people filing into the plane. The luggage in the compartments above me were positioned as if they were just about ready to fall on me. I felt vulnerable and I didn’t know how to handle it. It made my heart beat faster. I could feel myself losing control of my emotions, but I couldn’t let anyone know I was scared. I had to calm myself down. “The last step is to relax. Sleeping always works or maybe writing.” Sleep wasn’t an option and I had nothing to write about. I settled on people watching. The man across the aisle had large glasses but a short nose. They kept sliding off while he tried to read an article from the newspaper he was holding. The person in front of him had one of those travelling pillows that I thought resembled a toilet seat wrapped around his neck. From the angle I was sitting I could see that he was Asian and much younger than the man behind him. He was reading the Korean Sky mall magazine. I studied more people to keep my mind off my previous episode. After staring at at least a dozen passengers and studying a frighteningly large the mole on a blonde flight attendant’s
