English

<span>We usually drop the 'e' at the end of words when adding an ending that begins with a vowel suffix (e.g. -ing, -ed, -er, -able, -ous, ).</span><span>But with words ending in 'ge' keep the 'e' before 'able' to keep the soft 'ge' sound-
manageable, changeable, knowledgeable...
<span>We also keep the 'e' in words ending in 'ce' before 'able' to keep the soft 'c' ( "s") sound-
noticeable, replaceable, serviceable...
<span>Another exception to the rule is the final -e is not dropped from words ending in: -ee, -oe, -ye.
see - seeing, agree - agreeing, canoe - canoeist, dye - dyeing</span></span></span>

Elis [28]

The answer is: you.

Reflexive pronouns like <em>yourself</em> are used when the subject and the object of the verb are the same person or thing. The antecedent is the person or thing that the reflexive pronoun refers to, which is usually mentioned before.

In the example sentence, the reflexive pronoun is <em>yourself,</em> which means that the antecedent is <em>you:</em>

I do not believe what <u>you </u>did to <u>yourself </u>is for the best.

Answer:

White as the gleam of a receding sail,

White as a cloud that floats and fades in air,

White as the whitest lily on a stream,

Explanation:

Hyperbole is simply the use of exaggeration for literary effect.

This is a powerful tool that writers often employ to show the extent of something or the effect of that thing on another thing or person.

Therefore, the author compares his memories to the gleam of a receding sail, a cloud and the whitest lily on a stream.
