2. Seabury states, “They're playing a dangerous game." Highlight the correct
figurative language:
a. Simile
b. Metaphor
c. Alliteration
d. Hyperbole

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Hyperbole

Explanation:

The figurative language is an hyperbole.

Hyperbole originates from a Greek word meaning "excess". It is the use of exaggeration to emphasise on a particular point just like the example.

The speaker is trying to lay emphasis on how unsafe they are playing.

Hyperbole can refer to overstatement. It can be used to add flavor to a statement in order to have the attention of the listener.

The easiest way to get involved in a political campaign is to go down to your local party headquarters. Every town has one (well, every average-size town) for each major political party. The more obscure parties such as Libertarian, you may have to find online.
The local HQ will have volunteer opportunities that include things like phone calling campaigns, roadside sign waving, and tables at local events.
If you prefer to do your work online, you can visit party sites and get information on writing letters to your representatives. You can also join political organizations that exist within the main party. These smaller organizations tend to be more grass roots and deal with topics rather than platforms. That way you can pick and choose the topics that are important to you.
If you feel strongly that you should be involved, but don’t necessarily want to persuade others to agree with your political views, you can also help register people to vote.

Hundreds of Afghan refugees have set up camp in a Brussels church, protesting against their imminent deportation to their home country, which they say is not safe.

Sitting in the heart of Brussels' trendy Saint Catherine district, with renowned fish restaurants and designer fashion stores, nothing on the outside of Saint John the Baptist at the Beguinage hints at its temporary residents.

Inside, however, half of the church is filled with tents and makeshift beds. People sit on the floor to eat their lunch and children run around the 17th century baroque church's nave.

The refugees say they fear they would be killed or be forced to join terrorist groups if they returned to Afghanistan.

"We are afraid to die, to go back to die or to join a group of Al-Qaeda that is against humanity," said Samir Hamdard, the 29-year-old spokesman for the group.

Reality shows are a form of entertainment that is recurring in our culture and that can hold millions of viewers.

Although they may seem like a representation of normal and everyday life, they present an exaggerated and unoriginal narrative, but which manages to arrest the viewer in a surprising way, in addition to showing great money machines for some stations.

The exaggeration of these shows is observed by the presence of unusual situations, where the participants act with natural ease in their developments and resolutions, in addition, these situations are established in a totally contrary way to the reality of the participants' lives.

As an example of this, we can mention an episode of the Kardashian family reality show where a homeless person present in the region where the family resides, was rescued and taken care of by the family, until he found a home. We know that in normal situations, with the cameras off, a rich and successful family would not meet the needs of a homeless person without any kind of fear and with such generosity.

Some fans of reality can disagree and even some more humanistic people can claim that this was a charity episode that can happen to anyone. The problem is that the episode placed the Kardashians sisters as great saviors who used the facilities of the house where they lived with the family and even the family's clothes (to donate to the alleged homeless person), without any reprisals. Furthermore, we have no news that this family will repeat the heroic feat with the various homeless people and people in vulnerable situations outside the reality show, right?

At a four-legged table there is 1 grandpa, 2 dads, 2 sons and a grandson. How many legs are under the table?​

Answers

Answer:

6 legs

Explanation:

1 grandpa: the grandpa is the father (dad number 1) of one of those seated.

Son number 1: The grandpa has a son.

Son number 2: The grandpa's son also has a son.

This makes him a dad (Dad number 2).

The son of the grandpa's child is the grandpa's grandson.

We can say from the above, a man (grandpa) has a Son and a grandson.

Each person has two legs.

For 3 persons, we would have = 2×3 = 6legs

Therefore a 4 legged table with 1 grandpa, 2 dads, 2 sons and a grandson have 6 legs under the table.

What’s the central theme of the text ripe figs
A.family doesn’t always know what’s best
B.tradition grounds people and promotes stability
C. Respect for elders is the most important thing to have
D. Growing up takes time and patience, it can’t be rushed

Answers

Answer:

D). Growing up takes time and patience, it can’t be rushed.

Explanation:

Kate Chopin's story is based upon the key idea that 'human maturity is a gradual process like the seasons of the year which requires patience and can't be hastened.' This theme is represented through the metaphor of 'fig' which symbolizes that 'ripening'(or maturity) comes with time. Making haste or anxiousness will serve no purpose is the message that Maman-Nainaine gives to Babette and tells her that 'like the figs will not ripe sooner as per her wish, similarly the maturity would arrives in her at the right time.' Thus, option D is the correct answer.

Answers

• Simile
A figure of speech that is based on comparison it can be identified when the comparison uses the word (like or as) in a sentence

Example:
-The eats like a dog.
-He is as big as a house.

• Metaphor
It’s also a figure of speech based on comparison however it refers to one thing by mentioning another it has a rhetorical effect (hidden comparison)

Example:
-My sister is the black sheep of the family.( it’s a metaphor because she is not black nor is she a sheep)
-He is a shinning star.( it’s a metaphor because he is not a star )

• Personification
A figure of speech that gives human qualities to an inhumane object

Example:
- The tall Grass dances in the wind ( Its a personification because grass is not human therefore it can’t dance)

•Hyperbole
A figure of speech that is not to be taken literally as it consists exaggerated statements.

Example:
-It’s boiling hot (the level of warmth experienced is exaggerated)
