I believe it is C - metaphor. In the first sentence, if you were to put your name there, it would simply describe you as a dignitary.

Answer:

C) metaphor--death is being compared to a dignitary directly

Explanation:

A metaphor is a comparison between two unlike things without using like or as. In this passage, the speaker is comparing death and dignitary. The metaphor is made within the first four words so it is direct. In the passage it doesn't describe death as both positive and negative. Death is being described but through metaphor, not hyperbole. There is no like or as in the passage so simile is not an option.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court is made up of several judges, and the characteristic they all share is the fact that they are knowledgeable scholars of the law. This is the main reason why their advice is needed. Over time, our social context, our language, and our experiences as a country change. This can affect our interpretation of the Constitution. This is why it is important for the judges to interpret the "spirit" of the law, or the intended effect of the law at the time it was written.

How does the author’s discussion of pow wows at the Grand Ronde Indian Reservation contribute to the text
zubka84 [21]

The author's discussion of the Pow wows shows how the indigenous culture is rich and must be preserved, even if it follows the evolution of society.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The author shows how the Pow wows are very beneficial gatherings for the native tribes.
  • He reveals that these meetings are moments of celebration, where the native culture is presented, respected, and admired.
  • He also claims that the Pow wows have changed over time, following social evolution, but that they maintain traditions efficiently so that the culture is not lost.

This shows the reader how indigenous traditions are rich and can be very useful, fun, and important not only for the natives, but also for other citizens who recognize the importance of the tradition.
