Answer:

The figure of speech in "it is burning" is a hyperbole.

You can reword that sentence as "it is extremely hot outside."

Explanation:

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express a feeling or an idea. For example, when you tell someone you have called them a million times, you are using a hyperbole. You haven't actually called them that many times, you just want them to know that you called a lot.

It is quite common for people to use hyperbole when talking of the weather. We say it is burning hot when we mean it is really hot; we say it is freezing cold when we mean it is very cold. It is not really burning or freezing, we just exaggerate it to make our point.

A way to reword "it is burning" is by removing the hyperbole: "It is extremely hot outside."

Discuss four main ideas of critical rationalism and it's application in the classroom
chubhunter [2.5K]
For the purpose of this discussion, critical rationalism is defined as the way that we should approach knowledge. Critical rationalism believes that we don't have the ultimate answers and we should continue searching for them. It is modest. The search for the truth is the highest ideal. Critical rationalism does not include the need to justify your ideas. Existing rules and methods of scientific research are seen as inhibiting the search for new ideas. 
<span>Critical Rationalism can be applied in the classroom by allowed every student the right to an opinion. His opinion can be criticised by other students. Through open discussion, students will learn to pursue knowledge. </span>
