Answer:

Parrot.

Explanation:

A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.

The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.

Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Metaphor can be defined as an implied comparison without the use of the word as or like. It involves creating a direct similarity between two words or things.

Hence, we can say; Mr. Benny is always talking, he's a parrot. This is an example of metaphor.

Which perception process is in action below?

Alexxandr [17]

The correct answer is D) attribution.

In perception process, attribution refers to how we attach meaning to other's behavior or even our own. The attribution theory created by Fritz Heider in 1958 establishes that humans are naive psychologist always trying to make sense of the world and that includes people's behavior.

Primacy-recency refers to first impressions while self-fulfilling prophecy explains how the receivers perception and expectations of other person ultimately leads to that person acting the way the receiver is expecting.

Implicit personality theory is when we form impressions of another being with limited information, usually of an unfamiliar person. Hence this will not be the case since it is point out that Ted is actually John's friend.

On the other hand, stereotyping occurs when we associate attitudes or actions with a certain category. E.g. when we say that X person acted out in a certain way due to their sexual orientation, race, gender and so on.

Can someone help me do these Tag Questions, please?

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

1.Not only man but also woman ought to come forward to take vaccines, shouldn't they?

2.Little babies have little dream, haven't they?

3.The jury gave its verdict today, didn't he?

4. John and his brothers used to do it, didn't they?

5.Strong will defeated his frustration, didn't it?

6.Long live our motherland, doesn't it?

7.Fish in the pond, doesn't it?

Explanation:

In English it is common to end sentences with another short phrase, with the opposite sign, which is intended to ask for the opinion or seek the approval of the interlocutor: these are called question tags.

To form this short question we will use the auxiliary of the main phrase and its subject but with the opposite sign. If it had no auxiliary then we would use the auxiliary "to do".

If the sentence is affirmative, the question tag is negative and vice versa.

In the case of the verb "ought" it is allowed to use the auxiliary "should", as the verb "ought" is not that so used. But in the first sentence, it would be ok to use "oughtn't" too.

katen-ka-za [31]

This question is missing the original sentences. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

(1) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. uses repetition to give his speech rhythm and momentum. (2) "Let freedom ring” is a phrase which is used many times in his speech. (3) "Let freedom ring” is a phrase that leads to an exciting conclusion.

Which revision combines sentence 2 and sentence 3 most effectively?

A. Many times the phrase “Let freedom ring” is used in his speech because it is an exciting conclusion.

B. Many times the phrase “Let freedom ring” is used to lead to an exciting conclusion.

C. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase, and it is used to lead to an exciting conclusion many times.

D. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.

Answer:

The best way to combine sentences 2 and 3 is:

D. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.

Explanation:

Sentences 2 and 3 are quite repetitive since they both have "Let freedom ring" as their subjects. To combine both sentences, we must find a way to avoid repeating the subject while still maintaining the rest of the information provided. For that reason, letter D is the best option. It uses "Let freedom ring" only once. Then, it moves on to offer us all the combined information about it - it is a phrase, it is used many times, and it leads to an exciting conclusion.

D. “Let freedom ring” is a phrase that is used many times to lead to an exciting conclusion.

PRESENT RESERVE - Do these words

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

3. mean neither the same nor opposite.

Explanation:

To be "present" describes the action of existing or occurring in a particular moment. It also refers to a time period that is occurring at the moment of speaking (such as, "present tense"). On the other hand, "reserve" refers to preserving something for future use, or to having a quantity of something that is not used yet, but is saved for the future. Therefore, these two words do not mean either the same or the opposite.
