Antigone: Greek mythology, daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta. In Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus, she and her sister Ismene follow their father into exile at Colonus. When her brothers Eteocles and Polynices killed each other in the war of the Seven against Thebes, Creon, King of Thebes, forbade the burial of the rebel Polynices. Antigone defied him and performed the funeral service. She hanged herself in the cave where Creon ordered her buried alive.

Aphrodite: </span>In Greek religion and mythology, goddess of fertility, love, and beauty. Homer designated her the child of Zeus and Dione. Hesiod's account of her birth is more popular: she supposedly rose from the foam of the sea where Uranus' genitals had fallen after he had been mutilated by Kronos. Aphrodite was married to Hephaestus. She loved Ares, by whom she bore Harmonia and, in some myths, Eros and Anteros. She was the mother of Hermaphroditus by Hermes and of Priapus by Dionysus. Zeus caused her to love the shepherd Anchises, by whom she bore Aeneas. Adonis, in whose legend Aphrodite appears as a goddess of fertility, also won her favors. It was to Aphrodite that Paris awarded the apple of discord, which caused the dispute leading ultimately to the Trojan War. Worshiped throughout Greece, she was the goddess of love, marriage, and family life; she was also worshiped as a war goddess, as at Sparta, and as a sea goddess and patroness of sailors.

Answer:

Simile ↔ C) My phone slipped through my fingers <u>like</u> butter.

Personification ↔ D) The <u>face</u> of my phone had many <u>scars</u> from being dropped.

Symbol ↔ A) I wanted to wave the <u>white flag</u> after searching for my phone.

Hyperbole ↔ E) My phone <u>is my lifeline</u> to the world.

Metaphor ↔ B) I wouldn't <u>trade</u> my phone <u>for a million </u><u>dollars</u>.

Explanation:

Whatever I underlined is supposed to hint at why each sentence matches the way it does.

For example: Similes compare ideas to each other, sort of like metaphors do, but they use the words "like" or "as" to do so.

Hope this makes sense :)

Can you suggest me one story similar to given story​
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The princess and the pea

Explanation:

The story tells of a prince who wants to marry a princess but is having difficulty finding a suitable wife. Something is always wrong with those he meets and he cannot be certain they are real princesses because they have bad table manners or they are not his type. One stormy night a young woman drenched with rain seeks shelter in the prince's castle. She claims to be a princess, so the prince's mother decides to test their unexpected guest, by placing a pea in the bed she is offered for the night, covered by huge mattresses and 20 feather-beds.

In the morning, the guest tells her hosts that she endured a sleepless night, kept awake by something hard in the bed that she is certain has bruised her. With the proof of her bruised back, the princess passes the test and the prince rejoices happily, for only a real princess would have the sensitivity to feel a pea through such a quantity of bedding. The two are happily married, and the story ends with the pea being placed in a museum, where, according to the story, it can still be seen today unless someone has stolen it.

Answer:

Bulrushes and water lilies.

Explanation:

Pyramid of energy is a model used to depict the flow of energy from one trophic level or feeding level to the next in an ecosystem. It's a diagram that compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level of the food chain. The pyramid of energy must never be inverted or turned upside down.

The units used in the construction of pyramids of energy is kilocalories (kcal) or energy per area per time (Jm-²year-¹).

In Biology, producers are the living organisms that are capable of manufacturing their own food and as such can provide energy or food for the other living organisms (consumers) in a food chain. Thus, producers are mainly known as the foundation of a food chain and are at the top.

In this scenario, the producers are the bulrushes and water lilies which typically provides food for the snails and worms.
