Hello. You have not asked any questions related to this text, which makes it impossible for me to answer you. However, I will try to help you by showing you what this text means.
This text is an excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare. As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" tells the story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet who are the children of enemy families and therefore cannot be together, even if they love each other.
This passage refers to the moment when Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, kills Romeo's friend Mercutio, completely unjustly and unnecessarily. Romeo, is upset by this death and decides to take revenge. It is at that moment that he declaims the words contained in that text, stating that revenge must be so complete, that he must kill Tybalt, or himself.
The answer is central idea
A Simile. This is because it is comparing the muck to a leech using the words "as if".
Answer:From past earthquakes, multi-story buildings with weak and/or open front wall lines creating a “soft-story” (i.e. buildings with tuck-under-parking) performed poorly and collapsed. The goal of the mandatory retrofit program, under Ordinance 183893 and Ordinance 184081, is to reduce structural deficiencies by the most economical and feasible method. Without proper strengthening, these vulnerable buildings may be subjected to structural failure during and/or after an earthquake.
Buildings that are most vulnerable have been identified with the following criteria:
Consist of 2 or more stories wood frame construction
Built under building code standards enacted before January 1, 1978
Contains ground floor parking or other similar open floor space
The program does not apply to residential buildings with 3 or less units.
