Every green leaf, every blade of grass and blade of grain, was as shriveled and poor as the miserable people. (Book the Second, Chapter-xxiii) _________________________

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A Tale of Two Cities

Identification of the Literary Devices:

1. Simile: "...like birds of prey..."

2. Simile: "...as shriveled and poor as ..."

Explanation:

A simile is one of the literary devices used by good writers and speech makers to compare two different things in order to spark an interesting connection in a reader's or listener's mind.   Some express a sense of confusion between similes and metaphors.

The difference is that a simile uses the words "like" or "as" to draw a comparison and a metaphor simply states the comparison without using "like" or "as".   Look at these two sentences.  Goldlyn is as innocent and immaculate as an angel.  Goldlyn is the angel in our class.

While a simile makes a direct comparison, a metaphor makes an implied comparison.  The first sentence (simile) compares Goldlyn to an angel in innocence and immaculateness.  The second sentence (metaphor) implies that Goldyn is the angel without comparison.

Answer:

Organizing safety classes for drivers and cyclists will ensure that everyone knows the rules

Answer:

B—Organizing safety classes for drivers and cyclists will ensure that everyone knows the rules.

Explanation:

B is the correct choice as it further supports bicycle riding and is a block against the opposing argument that some people may break rules while either driving or cycling. By the process of elimination, A, C, and D would not support the conclusion as well because it doesn't add anything strong to the argument.

is samus better than wario in smash ultimate

Answers

wario will always be the best in smash ultimate

Answer: Wario is generally considered a much higher tier character then Samus and Dark samus.

Explanation: Wario's tier placement is top 15 at lowest. He has incredible framedata, great combos, great recovery (with bike), and waft (the fart) which is an excellent kill move that can steal games and be comboed into.

Samus isn't a bad character but she is lackluster when compared to wario. Samus's game plan is simply to run away with her projectiles. Shes not the fastest character and can get beat by other zoners or rushdown characters. She's not unplayable, but not the best pick for competitive play.

Answer:

My personal narrative about the topic of love and sweet sorrow

I remember my friend Adam who was a Jehovah's Witness, a Christian who fell in love with a beautiful Muslim girl but they faced some obstacle because of their religion and some family traditions.

The girl, i'll call her Aheeshah loved Adam but her family were strict Muslims who demanded that Adam say the Shahada and become a Muslim if he wants to marry her. To make matters worse, Adam's Jehovah Witness law declares that it is extremely important an useful to get married to a fellow Jehovah Witness although his parents had no problems with Aheeshah.

Adam and Aheeshah were restricted because of religion and could not find a middle ground where they could compromise. Unfortunately,  Aheeshah was killed in a hit and run incident two years ago and while the death did not entirely change their views about Adam, it made them more tolerant of him and his religion because of the uncertainty of death. However, Adam was heartbroken and bitter, but sometimes life can be cruel.

read this excerpt from a modest proposal

Who ever could find out fair

based on this satirical excerpt, what is most likely to be true about the author

Answers

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Whoever could find out a fair, cheap and easy method of making these children sound useful members of the common-wealth, would deserve so well of the publick as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation. Based on this satirical excerpt, what is most likely to be true about the author? A. He doesn't think statues are the proper way to honor people the public admires. B. He believes the public is not giving him the honors he has earned. C. He feels the public doesn't always honor the right people. D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Answer:

What is most likely true about the author is:

D. He doesn't always agree with the choices of who is honored by the public.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was published by author Jonathan Swift in 1729, anonymously. It is now a famous example of satire, especially because Swift was able to write an absurdity with seriousness. It turns out that Swift is ironically suggesting a solution to make the children of the poor useful to the rich. He defends the idea that poor parents should begin to sell their children as food to the rich. He offers logical explanations for that suggestion, and even provides them with ideas as to how to cook the kids.

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, he says anyone who can come up with such a good idea deserves a statue honoring him. Since the whole Proposal is a satire, we can infer that Swift is actually criticizing those who do get statues. He most likely thinks they do not deserve being honored at all, especially if their contributions to society include oppressing others.

Answer:

He doesn't always

Hey,
Essay writing
two heads are than one​

Answers

Answer: "Two heads are better than one" because usually, two people have more possibilities to solve a problem that one person alone.Because of my experience I can say that there are a lot of situations in life in which you need help of other people, the help can be of any kind, for example you might need a person who help you to move to a new appartment, but other times you might need someone who gives you advice, in both cases, is better to have someone to help you.

Moreover, asking other person for help will give us a new approach to the situation and maybe we realize that the situation is not so bad as we thought it was. For example, if you have a problem with a friend and you are very angry, explaining your situation to another person could help you to chill out and think possible rational solutions, or maybe you discover that the problem was not so serious and you can forget the dispute.

In an academic or work situations I think it is also better to work in pairs or teams, because you can divide the work in parts and dont be stressed. For example, if you have a heavy subject in class and you think you are not going to pass the exam, you can ask some friends to summarize some of the units of the book and then, before the exam you all have all the summaries to study.

Finally, I think it is also good sharing our work and cooperate with other people, not only take advantage of them for our own benefit, but achive common goals.

In conclusion, I think there are so many reasons to prefer to work with other people that can be summarized in the idea that if we are selfishand unsupportive it is worse for us.

Answers

Answer:

lying is the correct answer.

Explanation:

every other option is an example of prosocial behaviour.

Answer:

-lying

Explanation:

As the name implies, prosocial behavior is behavior that benefits other people. What are ways that you can help people other than yourself? Also, you could just take an educated guess for this question. Just look for the one answer that is different from the others. Let's take a look at the answers:

Sharing: This is definitely prosocial. Sharing is caring.

Lying: This isn't prosocial. Even though sometimes lying could benefit others, usually it doesn't. This does not benefit others.

Working hard: This is prosocial. Working hard shows that you care for other people.

Being kind: This is obviously prosocial. Being kind can make people like you, because you are being nice to them.

The answer is lying. This is the odd one out, the only answer with almost no way of helping others.

The words "little" and "serene" convey a sense of inferiority and lack of importance. They were used in the text to show that men and the actions provoked and carried out by them are unimportant, without depth. These men and their actions were insignificant and oblivious, they were so small that they did not cause any relevant circumstances and for that reason the men presented a serenity, since they knew that they were not provoking anything.

"Lofty mountains that pierce the clouds and reach to dizzying heights may appear to  us humans as coldly majestic, lonely, even forbidding. "

Mountains are not creatures that have feelings as they are not living things; thus, using the metaphor "pierce the clouds", describing them as "coldly majestic" and "lonely lends to them characteristics of human beings, which is what personification is all about.
