Please help match the figurative language to the sentences

English
1 answer:
sladkih [1.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

1. hyperbole

2. metaphor

3. hyperbole

4. idiom

5. onomatopoeia

6. simile

7. personification

Explanation:

I have been able to match the figurative languages to the sentences in the excerpt.

A figure of speech or figurative language refers to a word or phrase which has a separate meaning that is different from its literal definition or meaning. It's aim is to produce a rhetorical effect.

Hyperbole refers to the figure of speech which uses exaggeration.  In numbers 1 and 3, we see hyperbole: head spinning and taking forever .

Metaphor tends to describe something. It does so in such a way that is not literally true. It compares two things without the use of "as"  and "like". In No. 2: heart skipped a beat.

An idiom is known to be a group of word which does not relate to the literal meaning in that sentence. In No. 4: the apple of my eye.

Onomatopoeia refers to the figure of speech which creates a word that tend to imitate, suggest or resemble the sound that it describes. In No. 5: clangs of pots and pans.

Simile compares two things with the use of "as" or "like". In No. 6: as white as snow.

Personification tends to give human characteristics to inanimate objects. In No. 7: Martha's heart is stone.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

He talks about when re receives the devastating news and he talks about his mourning. He can't even see straight because all he can think of is his lover. At her funeral, he can't even bear to listen. He then goes to her grave. He weeps and weeps only to then stay there for hours. He then leaves her grave falling upon another grave in which the corpse comes out of this grave. Then all at once, all the corpses come out of the grave changing their headstone inscriptions. He runs to his lover to see what she changes it to and she changes it to "' Having gone out in the rain one day, to deceive her lover, she caught a cold and died." He looks at it and you know he feels betrayal. All in all the story shows love, grief, and betrayal.

Rewrite the following sentence correctly using colons and/or semicolons.
myrzilka [38]

Answer: I ordered many things at the restaurant: a salad, chicken pesto, and tiramisu.

Explanation:

A colon is a punctuation mark that has two parallel dots and it is used when people are trying to tell the readers what they meant. In this case, the writer is telling us that he ordered many things in the restaurany, and after the colon : he wrote on what things he was thinking, those are chicken pesto, a salad, and tiramisu.

The colon is used to introduce the items to readers. That can be a series of items or something similar.

In one well-developed paragraph, contrast the advice given to Ophelia by Polonius and Laertes. Each counsels Ophelia against a r
Marianna [84]
The advice that Ophelia receives from her brother Laertes is extremely different from the advice her father Polonius gives her. Laertes gently reminds Ophelia that Hamlet might really love her, but since he is in line for the throne he and might not actually be able to choose his wife for himself. He warns her to keep her affection "Out of the shot and danger of desire," meaning to not give in to her desires, otherwise she might ruin herself for future potential husbands. Polonius' advice is a little bit more aggressive. He scolds Ophelia for giving Hamlet too much attention, and says that there is no way Hamlet actually loves her. He says that his vows she "<span>must not take for fire", meaning she should not take his words for true passion. The overall difference between Laertes and Polonius is that Laertes is much gentler, and believes Hamlet might actually have feelings for her right now, and Polonius is putting more blame on Ophelia, saying there is no way Hamlet actually likes her.

Choose the correct way to revise this sentence to achieve parallel structure.
olchik [2.2K]
A parallel structure means that withing the sentence the same structure/scheme is used everywhere. So the correct answer is B. A cannot be correct as you have "BEING honest", "BEING courageous" and then just "compassionate". BEING was deleted. C is also incorrect as you have "BEING honest" and then just nouns "courage" and "compassion" - the structure has changed. It is the same case with D - "IS honest", "IS courageous" and then just "compassionate", without IS. And B is correct because we have three nouns "honesty", "courage", "compassion" - the structure remains the same.
