Answer:

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u><em>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</em></u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<em><u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u></em>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u><em>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</em></u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u><em>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</em></u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<em><u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u></em>

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

<u><em>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as".</em></u>

Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are two ways comparisons are made. The only difference is that similes use "like" and "as" to compare while metaphors do not use the two comparison words.

Hyperbole is when the description is given using too much emphasis, way beyond what it really is. The description is done with exaggeration.

Personification is when non-living ideas or things are given human attributes, characteristics, etc.  

1. The old couch springs moaned as the rather large man sat down on it.

<u>Personification. It personifies the 'couch' as a human, 'moaning' when the large man sat on it.</u>

2. The hot sauce burned like fire when I bit into the taco.

<u>Simile. Compares the hot sauce to a fire using 'like'.</u>

3. I am so tired, yet I still have a million things to do before bed.

<u>Hyperbole. Uses an exaggerated expression to describe the things to be done.</u>

4. You can't find your book because your room is a pigpen. Please clean it.

<u>Metaphor. Comparison between the speaker's room to a pig pen without using the words "like" or "as".</u>

5. The piece of chocolate cake taunted me each time I went to the kitchen.

<u>Personification. Personifies the cake to a human, 'taunting' the speaker.</u>

6. The neglected little kitten was as light as a feather from having no food.

<u>Simile. A comparison made between the kitten and a feather using the word "as". </u>

Katen [24]

Answer:

Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts.

Explanation:

The piece of evidence that best supports this claim is "Private citizens, corporations, and foundations already spend billions of dollars each year to support the arts".

Actually, who are the taxpayers? They are private citizens, corporations and foundations. That means if the government is using taxpayers' money to fund arts, indirectly it means that the billions of dollars spent each year to support arts are the monies of the private citizens, corporations and foundations. This then means that these private citizens, foundations and corporations are actually the ones supporting the arts through the taxes they pay.

stepladder [879]
The park was absolutely gorgeous on this day, with the scent of pine in the air, and crisp, fallen leaves crackling beneath me with every step.

Joe lazed around for an entire day, filling his body with overly sweetly aromatic junk food and dozing here and there.

Select the proper spelling of the word. incurence incurrence
Vika [28.1K]
The correct spelling is incurrence. Incurrence is the act or state of incurring. While incurring means making yourself subject to  something undesirable. Using Incurrence as a noun is very rare. Here is an example of using incurrence in a sentence,"FICO is really a system designed to train people on how to live beyond their means, through the incurrence debt.".
