Answer: a: simile b: alliteration c: simile d: personification e: hyperbole f: simile g: simile h: simile i: alliteration j: metaphor
Explanation: Similes are comparing unlike things with like or as. This means that a, c, g and h are similes. However on d it also uses the word as but it's personification. That's because personification is giving nonliving things human like characteristics. A chair cannot wait, but a human can therefore it's personification. Alliteration is the repetiotion of the beginning sound on a set of words. So because most of the words in b and i start with the same sound, it's alliteration. E is a hyperbole because a hyperbole is an exaggeration. The speaker of the statement doesn't actually have a million things to do, they're exaggerating which makes it a hyperbole. Lastly j is a metaphor because it compares 2 unlike things without using like or as, instead using was. Hope this helps :)
Answer:
to explain the feelings of worry experienced by an
immigrant family.
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Russell Freedman's book "The Immigrant Kids" which tells the story of late 1800s and early 1900s immigrant families arriving in America. Upon arrival, the kids underwent rigorous examinations in order to prevent them from bringing any contagious disease into the country.
However, this excerpt doesn't deal with description of the physical examination; it rather focuses on the fear and constant anxiety triggered by the possibility of a family member being banned from entering the country.
It strongly depicts that family worries never stopped, not even after reaching American soil.
