What is at least 2 metaphors in this passage?

Until this day, how well the house had kept its peace. How carefully it had inquired, "Who goes there? What's the password?" and, getting no answer from lonely foxes and whining cats, it had shud up its windows and drawn shades in an old maidenly preoccupation with self-protection which bordered on a mechanical paranoia. It quivered at each sound, the house did. If a sparrow brushed a window, the shade snapped up. The bird, startled, flew off! No, not even a bird must touch the house! The house was an altar with ten thousand attendants, big, small, servicing, attending, in choirs. But the gods had gone away, and the ritual of the religion continued senselessly, uselessly.

What Is At Least 2 Metaphors In This Passage?Until This Day, How Well The House Had Kept Its Peace. How

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

it had shud up its windows and drawn shades in an old maidenly preoccupation with self-protection which bordered on a mechanical paranoia.

Put a like before an old maidenly aunt or woman. That makes it a simile. Take the like out and you have a metaphor.

Do the same thing with like in front of an alter. Take out the like and you have a metaphor.

What a grim and yet wonderful passage.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point is reflected over the x-axis, the y coordinate becomes opposite because you are changing its y value, not its x-value. So (-2, 3) reflecting over the x-axis becomes (-2, -3).

The same concept goes for reflecting over the y-axis. The x coordinate becomes opposite because you are changing its x value. (It's like folding the graph in half and seeing where the point matches up with. So (-2, -3) reflecting over the y-axis becomes (2, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

Three Digit Number.

***

Second digit = Last digit

*xx

I multiplied 45 from numbers 1-23, with 22 being the maximum # to multiply to get a 3 digit number that is divisible by 45, and 3 being the minimum # to multiply to get a 3 digit number that is divisible by 45.

Now to check which number it is.

When you multiply 45 by 17, you get 765. This number is supposed to be 1 less than the riddle's number. It also has to have the last 2 digits be the same.

So, lets add one to 765 to see if we solved the riddle.

765 + 1 = 766

766 is the answer!

There are ‘n’ arithmetic means between 33 and – 3. If second last mean: second mean = 1: 5, find the value of n.

Answers

We know that:

There are n arithmetic means between the numbers 33 and -3

second last mean: second mean = 1:5

Using this, we can find that the value of n is 9.

Now let's see how we need to use the information.

"There are n arithmetic means between the numbers 33 and -3"

This means that we will have a sequence like:

33, a₁, a₂, ..., aₙ, -3

And by the given ratio, we know that:

aₙ₋₂:a₂  = 1:5

Also, because this is an arithmetic sequence we have:

a₁ = 33 + d

a₂ = 33 + d + d

aₙ ₋ ₂ = 33 + (n - 2)*d = -3 - 2*d

Because of the ratio, we will have that:

aₙ₋₂/a₂ = 1/5

We can replace what the left side by:

(-3 - 2*d)/(33 + 2*d) = 1/5

now we can solve this for d.

-3 - 2*d = (33 + 2*d)*(1/5)

5*(-3 - 2*d ) = (33 + 2*d)

-15 - 10d = 33 + 2d

-15 - 33 = 2d + 10d

-48 = 12d

-48/12 = -4 = d

So now we know that the value of d is -4.

Now we can use the equation

aₙ ₋ ₂ = 33 + (n - 2)*d = -3 - 2*d

to find the value of n:

33 + (n - 2)*d = -3 - 2*d

33 + (n - 2)*-4 = -3 - 2*-4

33 - 4n + 8 =  -3 + 8

41 - 4n = 5

-4n = 5 - 41 = -36

n = 36/4 = 9

The value of n is 9.
