I have looked this question up. It is about vocabulary. We should choose the best meaning for "superficial". The complete question is the following:

His neighbor's "superficial" remarks trivialized their argument over the line separating their properties and infuriated Winston.

A. enraged

B. insulting

C. petty

D. misleading

Answer:

The best option for the meaning of "superficial" as used in the sentence is:

C. petty

Explanation:

If we qualify something as being superficial, we mean it lacks depth. Thus, a superficial remark is a shallow, unimportant statement. In that sense, we can practically say that "superficial" and "petty" have the same meaning. "Petty" refers to something small, unimportant, insignificant. In the sentence we are analyzing here, someone's silly, unimportant remarks made someone else angry because they (the remarks) made the argument seem trivial.

Which of the following phrases from “Arithmetic” is an example of metaphor?
aliina [53]

Answer:

“Arithmetic is seven eleven all good children go to heaven...”

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech where you imply one thing is another.

An example would be, " She is a snail when she has to do her chores"

None of these are good examples of metaphors, especially when taken out of context.

From what we are given, I would say

“Arithmetic is seven eleven all good children go to heaven...”  is the best example
