Answer:
We were at a disadvantage <em><u>in</u></em><em> </em>that that we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the correct preposition to be used is "in". This is because "in" will introduce the argument or provide an explanation for the statement before the blank.
With the use of "in", the statement <em>"we weren't too familiar with the language the others were using"</em> provides an explanation for the first statement <em>"[W]e were at a disadvantage"</em>. Whereas the use of the prepositions "by", "with", and "for" are incorrect.
Thus, the correct answer is "in".
Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
