6 0

Answer:

Dew transforms ordinary objects into beautiful things.

Explanation:

Figurative language is the use of words in such a way that they make the words more colorful. Writers use this literary technique to give more life to their works and also to present images more beautifully, with the intention of more clarity in the writing.

In the given lines from the poem, the figurative language used is a simile where the speaker compares the dews with that of stars. Dews, when they stick to cobwebs in early mornings, they appear like tiny stars suspending in the sky.

This figurative language conveys that dews transform ordinary things into more beautiful things.

What what two steps should a student take before closely reading a text
ch4aika [34]
I would say first identifying their purpose for reading the text so they can look for whatever it is. (for example, answering short answer questions they might want to read the questions first and then read the text and look for the answers)

Perhaps next would be maybe getting away from any distractions so they can read the text clearly. (so if your in a place where a lot of people are talking they might want to go to a more quite room)

I hope that helps!

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Ephraim shows contentious remarks against the degrading remarks of a certain politician.

identify the type of context clue (CONTENTIOUS) used in statement

Answer:

Restatement/Synonym Clues

Explanation:

Context clues are unknown words in a text, where the reader can understand the meaning through the context of the sentence in which these words are inserted. With this, the reading time and motivation to read are optimized, because the reader does not need to stop reading to look for the meaning of the word.

The phrase shown in the question above uses the word "contentious" as a context clue. This is because through the context of the sentence we can see that this word means something contrary and challenging.

This type of context clue is called Restatement/Synonym Clues, because it uses an unknown word in a simple and easy way.
