Rewrite each statement as a cleft sentence. Follow the example. Use contractions when possible. Example: 1. I don't like a manag

Vinvika [58]

Answer and Explanation:

Cleft sentences are used to connect something previously understood to new information or to emphasize something by placing it in a different clause. When we use this type of structure, we are basically dividing a piece of information into two clauses. It is common to use it or wh- words to form the cleft sentence.

1. I don't like a manager who acts like a tyrant. = What I don't like is a manager who acts like a tyrant.

2. We're looking for someone who is a team player. - What we are looking for is someone who is a team player.

3. He would prefer to walk to the theater. - What he would prefer is to walk to the theater.

4. She wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. - It was she who wrote the most popular mystery novel of the year. / What she wrote was the most popular mystery novel of the year.

5. We saw the most dangerous snake in the world. - What we saw was the most dangerous snake in the world. / It was the most dangerous snake in the world that we saw.

6. She had a terrible case of the flu. - What she had was a terrible case of the flu.

7. I don't understand why someone took my headphones. - What I don't understand is why someone took my headphones.

Someone pls help me I will make you as brain Match the definitions

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Simile ↔ C) My phone slipped through my fingers like butter.

Personification ↔ D) The face of my phone had many scars from being dropped.

Symbol ↔ A) I wanted to wave the white flag after searching for my phone.

Hyperbole ↔ E) My phone is my lifeline to the world.

Metaphor ↔ B) I wouldn't trade my phone for a million dollars.

Explanation:

Whatever I underlined is supposed to hint at why each sentence matches the way it does.

For example: Similes compare ideas to each other, sort of like metaphors do, but they use the words "like" or "as" to do so.

Hope this makes sense :)
