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: A. Adverb

An adverb clause is defined exactly as it is in the question. It is used in a sentence to tell where, when, how, or to what extent something was done. It is similar to adverbs themselves, since adverbs also modify an adjective, verb, or another adverb based on time, place, degree, manner, etc.

A main clause is a clause that can stand alone on its own while an adjective clause will function as an adjective itself which answers either "how many?", "what kind?" or "which one?".

So, if the given quote from the book "The Night Crawler" by Angus Young is to be quoted, then the quotation will include the <u>last name (Young) and the page number from which the line or quote is taken</u>. The year of publication is not necessary for a direct quote. Rather, in place of the year of publication, the page number should be mentioned.

So, the correct answer is option d.
