"The Mediterranean was still attacking them, wave after wave
trying to drown them..."
What figurative language is used?

A.Onomatopoeia
B.Personification
C.Simile
D.Metaphor

Answers

Answer 1

After reading the sentence and the options, we can say that the figurative language used is the following:

B. Personification

What is personification?

It is the figurative language that gives human traits and behaviors to inanimate objects.

For example, in the sentence, "The wind kept on singing  and the beautiful flowers danced to it," we have personification. The wind cannot really sing, and flowers cannot really dance.

The purpose of the author would be to convey the idea that the movement of the flowers in the wind was so beautiful that it reminded her of dancing.

How about the sentence in the question?

In the sentence we are analyzing here, there is personification when the author says "The Mediterranean was still attacking them." The Mediterranean is a geographical region that encompasses certain countries and a sea.

A geographical region itself cannot attack. The people who live in it can, however. The author personified the Mediterranean with the purpose of indicating the its people were the ones attacking.

Read this excerpt from Chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies, in which Simon first encounters the severed pig's head.

The pile of guts was a black blob of flies that buzzed like a saw. After a while these flies found Simon. Gorged, they alighted by his runnels of sweat and drank. They tickled under his nostrils and played leapfrog on his thighs. They were black and iridescent green and without number; and in front of Simon, the Lord of the Flies hung on his stick and grinned. At last Simon gave up and looked back; saw the white teeth and dim eyes, the blood—and his gaze was held by that ancient, inescapable recognition. In Simon’s right temple, a pulse began to beat on the brain.

What does author William Golding allude to by naming the pig's head the Lord of the Flies?

A. He references a Greek myth in which two men fly using wings made of wax and feathers.

B. He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil.

C. He references a 1958 film called The Fly in which a man is physically merged with a fly.

D. He references a Greek myth in which a being named Myiagros chases away flies.

Answers

He references the Bible's Old Testament, which uses that same name for the devil. Thus, option B is the correct option.

What does author William Golding allude to by naming the pig's head the Lord of the Flies?

Simon imagines that the pig's head on the stick is speaking to him as he is having an epileptic seizure. Here, Golding makes it obvious that the pig's head is a representation of the beast, which stands for evil and is also known as the Lord of the Flies, another name for the Devil. During his hallucination, Simon understands that the beast is not something that can be killed because it exists inside humans.

Simon observes the horde of flies encircling the head of the pig that the hunters have mounted on a pole. Simon loves to hide in the clearing where the pig's head is. The Lord of the Flies, an allusion to Beelzebub, is used for the first time to describe the pig's head in this passage.

ANSWER ASAP PLEASEQuestion 6 (5 points)Read the passage and answer the question.To show his admiration for Charlemagne, the pope crowned him the new Roman emperor on Christmas Day, 800 C.E. After the death of Charlemagne in 814 C.E., the Carolingian empire began to decline. A group of nobles tried to unify Germany; however, most of the appointed kings lacked power because the nobles did not want to give up their independence. One exception was Otto I. Otto sent troops into Italy to protect the pope from the Magyars. To reward him for his assistance, the pope crowned Otto emperor of the Romans in 962 C.E., thus joining the affairs of the German kingdom with those of Italy and the papacy. Ottos coronation as emperor not only marked the German kings as successors to the empire of Charlemagne, but also as the successors of Ancient Rome.Based on this passage, which statement do these events best describe? aThe unification of Germany bThe formation of the Holy Roman Empire cThe decline of the Carolingian Empire dThe death of CharlemagneQuestion 7 (5 points)Which statement best describes the role of the early church and the monasteries in the spread of Christianity after the fall of the Western Roman Empire? aAbbots, who were the leaders of the monasteries, served as advisors to kings and ruled the lands near their monasteries bSome monks left the monasteries to preach the church's message, while those who stayed educated people, cared for the sick, and preserved knowledge by copying ancient texts cA priest named Patrick traveled to Ireland to set up churches and monasteries and pass on Roman learning to the people of Europe dMonasteries began to play a role in European politicsQuestion 8 (5 points)Read the statement and answer the question.Most of Europe lies within a few hundred miles of an ocean or sea.
