Answer:

1. My backpack weighs a ton. ------- hyperbole

2. The daisies danced in the rain ------- personification

3. Your eyes are like stars ------- simile

4. She is a monster ------- metaphor

Explanation:

1. Hyperbole: Exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

2. Personification: The attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something non-human, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

3. Simile: A figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g. as brave as a lion).

4. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. ... A metaphor states that one thing is another thing. It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism.

Which sentence in the excerpt supports the claim that the American colonies could thrive independently from Britain?

viva [34]

C) But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had anything to do with her. thus option C is correct.

<h3>Why British rule of American colonies?</h3>

Although each colony had its own government, the British king maintained power over them. Many colonists were irate by the 1770s because they lacked self-government. This implied that they were unable to rule themselves and establish their own rules. The king demanded that they pay enormous taxes.

According to Paine's claim in Option C, America would have actually been better off if it had not been under British rule. According to him, America's progress and ability to prosper even more were really hampered by its rule by the British. Both options A and B make the case that America needs Britain to succeed. Option A claims that for America to be happy, a relationship with Britain is crucial. America is compared to a child in Option B. According to this, a child should never consume meat if they can get by on milk alone. America should therefore just require Britain. Although Paine evidently finds this absurd, the premise does not support the claim.

In Rain Myths, which conclusion about the Madagascan people is most justified by "A Madagascan Myth”?

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.

Explanation:

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the land” is not correct, because while land does play the role in "A Madagascan Myth”, the myth does not tell the story of the land.

 The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on family.” is correct. In the myth, God Ndriananahary creates the Sun to find and help his son on the earth. Therefore, we can see how much he cared for the family. Additionally, the myth mentions the importance of ancestors and their spirits on earth. For people, dead spirits of the family are important to guide and protect them, Therefore, the family values are important in order to have a good life and happiness, and the love and care for the family can bring great things.

The answer “The Madagascans had religious beliefs based on the sun” is not true. The myth does talk about the creation of the sun, but it does not say the belief system is based upon it.

The answer “The Madagascans had cultural values based on safety.” is not correct. While safety is important in the myth (safety of Ndriananahary’s sons and safety of people protected by ancestors), it is the part of the belief and the need of the people, while cultural and religious values lie in the family values. Therefore, it can be concluded that family is important to have safety, which puts the core of the cultural value in the concept of family.

1. What's the unique relationship between textual evidence and the main idea? A. There's no relationship between textual evidenc

vovikov84 [41]

1. C. Gathering textual evidence helps the reader discover the main idea.

When trying to discover the main idea within a text, it is important to look for clues. Clues will be contained within the text that hint at the main idea being discussed, and this clues within the text are known as textual evidence and can range from something as simple as a symbol (symbolism) to something as complex as dialog and allegory.

2. B. Colon

The punctuation used following a salutation can be informal or formal (there really is no in between). For informal communications, you would use a comma, and for formal communications, you would use a colon. When addressing a superior, or someone in a leadership position in the workplace, it is best to be formal. Thus, a colon would be needed following the salutation.

3. A. a writing about different facts, people, events, or periods in history.

Informational texts do exactly as the name “informational” suggest—they provide unbiased (non-persuasive), true and non-fictional information (facts) about people, events, or periods in history. And, this would generally be done in an order in accordance with the timeline of the actual happenings.

4. Email address of the sender.

The “from” field in an email will show the email address from which the email is coming. Thus, if one wants to know email address the sender used to send the email, one would look in the “from” field of the email.
