an arm out to seize the importunate branch; instead of which, my

Which figurative language is used in the sentence given?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Alliteration.

Explanation:

Alliteration is a literary device that refers to the use of the same consonant word in consecutive words in a sentence. In other words, we can say that alliteration is when the same consonant sound in close proximity in a sentence.

In the given sentence from "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, the author/ speaker uses the figurative language of alliteration. Alliteration is seen/used in the words "knocking my knuckles" and "fingers closed on the fingers . . ."

Thus, the correct answer is alliteration.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Hi. This question requires a personal answer, based on your own experiences. however, I'm going to show you an answer and hope you can use it as a template to create your own answer.

I usually have difficulties to communicate with my family when I'm facing difficulties that make me sad and with weakened mental health. This difficulty occurs because, in these moments, I feel weakened, without energy and I have no hope that someone will understand my problems. The last time this happened was when I was worried about the future and what my situation would be like a few years from now. I felt very anxious and devastated by these thoughts although I wanted to talk to someone about it, I was very scared and ashamed and I kept it all inside myself, which only made the situation worse. However, my mother noticed how crestfallen I was and started talking to me, giving me confidence to talk about my thoughts. In this case, I managed to learn that we shouldn't keep our problems to ourselves, but look for someone we trust to talk to and take a weight off our conscience, because even if communication doesn't solve our problems, it can give us a certain comfort, the that will improve our situation.

THE VOYAGES OF DOCTOR DOLITTLE
By Hugh Lofting

Chapter 1: The Cobbler's Son
My name was Tommy Stubbins, son of Jacob Stubbins, the cobbler of Puddleby-on-the-Marsh; and I was nine and a half years old. At that time Puddleby was only quite a small town. A river ran through the middle of it; and over this river there was a very old stone bridge, called Kingsbridge, which led you from the market-place on one side to the churchyard on the other.

Sailing-ships came up this river from the sea and anchored near the bridge. I used to go down and watch the sailors unloading the ships upon the river-wall. The sailors sang strange songs as they pulled upon the ropes; and I learned these songs by heart. And I would sit on the river-wall with my feet dangling over the water and sing with the men, pretending to myself that I too was a sailor.

For I longed always to sail away with those brave ships when they turned their backs on Puddleby Church and went creeping down the river again, across the wide lonely marshes to the sea. I longed to go with them out into the world to seek my fortune in foreign lands—Africa, India, China and Peru! When they got round the bend in the river and the water was hidden from view, you could still see their huge brown sails towering over the roofs of the town, moving onward slowly—like some gentle giants that walked among the houses without noise. What strange things would they have seen, I wondered, when next they came back to anchor at Kingsbridge! And, dreaming of the lands I had never seen, I'd sit on there, watching till they were out of sight.

On Sunday, September 2nd, shortly after midnight, a fire broke out in a bakery and quickly spread. As rumors of suspicious foreigners setting fires spread, the streets became chaotic. The wind had already fanned the bakery fire into a firestorm by the time large-scale demolitions were ordered on Sunday night, defeating such measures. The death toll is unknown, but it is thought to be in the low hundreds. Everyone in the area grabbed their items and fled out of their beloved houses. Thousands of houses were burned down but they were all eventually rebuilt but it took many years. The fire continued to burn and lasted for around four straight days. The wind continued to change direction and fanned out the fire to different areas. Finally, the fire stopped and even though few people lost their lives, the fire was one of the worst in the 17th century.

Answer:

This was a passage about The Great Fire of London that happened in September of 1666. It occurred at 1 am, and the cause was because the bakery called Puddling Lane, the maid did not tend the ovens properly causing sparks to fly. This is how the fire started. The fire was propelled to further limits because since winter was coming, people had stocked up on oil and other things that were easy for fire to catch on. Then there was a wind from the East that spread the fire, causing a mass panic. It was unfortunate that where the fire started was in a poor area, where the foundation of the building were not sturdy and close together powering the fire even more. Eventually the fire stopped and the casualties were not insane, but 80% of the building were destroyed in the blaze.

What does he mean by this ?

He meant that democracy is not perfect, but rather susceptible to huge and harmful failures, which must be tackled.

Explanation:

George Takei is an American actor of Japanese descent. His family was forced to abandon their home and all their possessions to live in the Japanese concentration camps, formed by the American government during World War II. This was an extremely shameful moment in American history, as it shows the great level of instability, prejudice and intolerance towards immigrants and descendants. These factors are totally against the concepts preached by democracy, which is one of the great prides of the American population.

George Takei's father, as one of the great failures of American democracy, shows that this democracy is imperfect and capable of absurd cruelties, contrary to what it should be.

What’s the difference between indefinite pronoun and indefinite adjective? Explain

with at least 3 examples of each.

Answers

Answer:

Indefinite adjectives give nonspecific information about a noun. For example, the indefinite article few indicates some, but not an exact amount. Indefinite adjectives are easily confused with indefinite pronouns since they are the same words used differently. An indefinite pronoun replaces a noun. An indefinite adjective precedes a noun or pronoun and modifies it. It is important for you to understand the difference between indefinite adjectives and pronouns to assure you are saying what you mean. Some common indefinite adjectives include all, any, anything, each, every, few, many, one, several, some, somebody, and someone.

Example

ExampleIndefinite adjective: We are having some cake for dessert.
