Read the following excerpt from Mrs. Drainger's Veil by Howard Mumford Jones:
Volgvan
<span>The correct answer is A. metaphor. A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech in which two things are compared without using words such as like or as. So here, Emily is being compared to 'a shell burned out by one fierce moment of fire' - she's not an actual shell, but rather compared to one through the use of a metaphor.</span>

Which topic is too broad for a 10-minute speech?A. how to punt a football B. the history of California C. visiting the Louvre in
Nina [5.8K]

B. the history of California

For a speech, 10 minutes is really just enough time to pretty much cover the basics.  When we consider that the average time it takes to read/speak is approximately 250 words a minute, and with the understanding that one typed page is 250 words, this means that 10 minutes would cover only four pages of text.  With that in mind, the topic of “The History of California,” it can be safely assumed that only a superficial covering of the history would be covered because there is so much that could be covered, especially keeping in mind that California’s history could include everything from prehistoric times (or earlier) to the present day.  When deciding on a topic, one should always keep the required length in mind and decide whether the topic is suitable for the page/time length because for broad topics many pages and lots of time would be required in order to adequately cover everything of which it is comprised.   For low page/time requirements, a narrow topic is what would be needed.

" times fool " meaning in the sonnet
Charra [1.4K]
Assuming that you are referring to Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, the meaning of time's fool is as follows. 

The full line is, "Love's not time's fool" which means that love is not love if it changes with time or that love is not real if it changes with time.

Hope this helps! :)
