Read the following paragraphs: When our air conditioner broke in the middle of a hot summer, we had to fall back on some old-fas

hioned tricks to keep cool. At night, we opened all the doors and windows and set up fans to pull the colder night air into the house. When the sun came up, we pulled down the window shades to block the heat. As it got warm in the house, we put a tub of ice water in front of each fan to blow a chilled breeze through the darkened rooms. The key idea in this essay is staying comfortable without air conditioning. Which words or phrases below are used as pattern transitions to connect the paragraphs to that idea?
a.house
b.window
c.air
d.cool, colder, chilled​

Answer:

D: Cold, colder, chilled

Find three points of "Little Boy Crying" poem and explain these three points briefly. You should tell me what the poem is about.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The poem is about a boy by the name of Steven who became agitated and eventually cried from losing a match in Fortnite. First, he threw his controller at his parent's flat screen TV, obliterating it with full force. Then he screamed erratically at his parents for hindering his concentration when they had not done so. A demon began spawning out of Steven as his screaming elevated to a banshee level and his face reddened. In the midst of rage, he picked up his cat and slammed it on the floor, breaking its neck. He began crying and laughing simultaneously. The parents witnessed this and called the police on him. When they arrived, Steven was arrested without much interrogation. He was put in juvenile detention with multiple pending charges and while he was locked up, his parents decided to disown him. Steven no longer had a home. When he gained knowledge of this, his inner demon formed again and he attacked a guard recklessly. Had the other guards not come in time, he would have been dead. Steven was transferred to a state prison with felony charges and is currently serving 50 years with no bail.

Explanation:

I read the poem.

2. The band set up in the town square to play, and the musicians were
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

The figurative language used in this sentence is: oxymoron.

Explanation:

By definition, a crowd is the gathering of a large number of people. However, in the sentence we are analyzing here, the speaker says there was a "small crowd". The two words have, therefore, opposite meanings - a "small large number of people," so to speak.

This is an example of oxymoron, a type of figurative language that puts together two words with opposite meanings. In context, however, the words can be understood. Although crowds are made up of a large number of people, some crowds can have many more people than others. Thus, the idea of a small crowd is understandable.
