<span>Similes and metaphors are both types of commonly used figurative language. They both compare two different things in English language and writing. The simile is written using either the word "like" or "as"--"The dog was as black as coal." A metaphor does the same thing without using the words "like" or "as"--"The dog was a siren, barking into the night."</span>
The correct answer is C. She came by to pick up her purse and cell phone, which she had left in my apartment.
Explanation:
In grammar, concrete nouns are words that describe specific and tangible entities such as objects, places, people, etc. In the case of the sentence presented the word "things" is not a concrete noun as this concept is abstract and too general, this also applies to terms such as stuff or junk.
On the opposite, the words "purse" and "cellphone" are concrete nouns because these refer to tangible and concrete or specific objects. In this context, if the focus is concrete nouns the best revision is option C because this replaces appropriately the abstract noun "things" by two concrete nouns.
"Whose dream is this, I would like to know:"
Answer: High schoolers/Teenagers
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. A isn't correct because "this invention" is a noun phrase, not adjective. B - "the number" is again a noun. D - "also increased" - is a verb phrase. So the only option left is "of available books", and since it modifies "number", which is a noun, it must be an adjective.
