After reading the sentences, we can tell we are supposed to use the words in parentheses to form phrases that will complete the blank spaces. We can do it in the following manner:

  1. My brother <u>was on his own</u> when the accident happened.
  2. I <u>gave up on reading</u> the book after the first three chapter because it was so boring.
  3. The heat <u>made it impossible fo</u>r me to get on with my work.

This question requires knowledge about collocations.

<h3>What are collocations?</h3>
  • Collocations are words that are often used together in order to convey meaning. Their joint usage is so common that we say they sound good and natural together.
  • Let's use number 1 above as an example. We must use the word "own" to fill in the blank. We also know that we should say something implying that the brother was alone.
  • The best option is to say <u>he was on his own</u> when the accident happened. "To be on one's own" means to be alone, and it is a common phrase (collocation) to use and express such meaning.

Boy help a sister out
klasskru [66]

Answer:

C. Simile

Explanation:

The correct answer is <em>simile</em>.

Simile is a figure of speech that uses <em>"as"</em> and <em>"like" </em>to compare two things.  It is used in comparing one thing with another thing that is of a different kind.

This tries to compare "<em>when friends can't be found"</em> to "<em>a bridge over troubled water". </em>Simile differs from metaphor because it compares two things directly by highlighting the similarities between those two things using "like" or "as".<em> </em>Metaphors actually create an implicit comparison.

Shakespeare was an important fourteenth century poet that helped shape what we think of Middle English. TrueFalse
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

It was Geoffrey Chaucer who was the poet of the fourteenth century and who helped in the development of Middle English. Chaucer is also known as the "Father of English Literature". He is considered as the great poet of the fourteenth century or "Age of Chaucer". Chaucer had contributed around two-thousand words in English dictionary. He wrote in English during the time when French and Latin was in much use in literature. His magnum opus "The Canterbury Tales" can be considered that bank.

So, it was not Shakespeare who wrote in the fourteenth century but Chaucer. Shakespeare wrote during the Elizabethan Era starting from 1558-1603.
