What might happen if you paraphrase without carefully reading the material first?.

In the space below, write a sentence that uses both the comparative form and the superlative form of the adverb "softly."

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Comparative: Jane walked more softly than Judy

Comparative: Jane walked softlier than Judy

Superlative: Jane walked the softliest

Superlative: Jane walked the most softly

Explanation:

Comparative: more softly or softlier

Superlative: most softly or softliest

However, more/most softly is used more often than softlier/softliest in everyday conversation. If you can only choose one option for comparative and superlative, I think you should use more/most softly.

. He was asked to account for his presence at the scene of crime.

kumpel [21]

Answer:

c. explain
d. wonderful

Explanation:

The questions would like to know the most relevant synonym of the word underlined.

The word underlined in the first question is "account". Account can have several meanings such as a bank feature that lets you keep money with them, your side of a story or an explanation of sorts. In this case it is an explanation as the man in question was being asked to explain why he was at the scene of the crime.

For the second question, the underlined word is "fantastic". The relevant synonym would have to be "wonderful" because when something is said to be fantastic, it means that it is positively very much above average which is another way of saying wonderful.

Tribute to the Dog

Julli [10]

Answer:

Figurative language is one of the most important elements of any literary texts. It's like the spice and seasoning of a dish, it gives taste to it.

"A Tribute to a Dog" is a speech made by Senator George Graham Vest as his closing argument for his client's dog shot and killed by his neighbor. Some examples of the figurative language used in the text are the following:

- He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master’s side. (Personification)

- The one absolutely unselfish friend that a man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him and the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog. (Personification)

- A man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness (Hyperbole)

- He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. (Metaphor)

- He is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey to the heavens. (Simile)

These are just a few of the figurative languages used in the text, there' still more. But these ones give more impact to the whole text. It makes it more convincing and meaningful. For sure because of this speech, his side won the case.
