I believe that the sentence uses a simile, because it uses the word "like" to compare the villain's face to that of a statue.
Sample Response: The Cyclops is angry that Odysseus, a
weak and tiny man, was able to blind him and trick him. To make matters
worse, Odysseus has no regrets, and he does not apologize even though
the Cyclops offers to treat him well if he returns. Instead, Odysseus
insults Cyclops more than once during his escape. Cyclops knows that the
gods have power over men's lives, and this is his only opportunity for
revenge. Thus, he is motivated to seek revenge against Odysseus.
Hello. You forgot to show the text and answer options. Both are set out below.
In 2002, astronomers using Hubble noted that the abundance of high-altitude clouds increased the planet's brightness from observations made in the late 1990s. Astronomers consider this brightness increase a sign of seasonal change. Hubble studies show that Neptune has a nearly constant brightness at low latitudes (near the equator). This supports the idea that the observed changes are seasonal in nature, because seasonal effects would be minimal near the equator and most evident at high latitudes.
A. to prove how scientists were able to confirm that Neptune has recurring weather
B. to suggest that Neptune is similar to Earth in terms of weather patterns
C. to demonstrate how scientists were able to conclude that Neptune has clouds like Earth
D. to introduce the idea that Neptune is similar to other planets in the galaxy
Answer:
A. to prove how scientists were able to confirm that Neptune has recurring weather
Explanation:
The text presents how scientists came to the conclusion that Neptune is a planet that has seasonal changes, similar to the earth, but with a different time interval between them. The text also shows that it is possible to observe these seasonal changes with the increase in the latitude at which the planet is observed, which reinforces the idea that, on this planet, the climate is recurrent, according to seasonality.
