What figurative language is used in these lines?
"but my thoughts, and they floated
light as moths among the branches
of the perfect trees. All night"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

The speaker thoughts, (inanimate) is floating up like moths (animate) among branches of perfect trees all night long.

The speaker is deep in thoughts so much they suddenly developed wings and started floating as a kite would or in this case a moth among branches. These branches are also hindrances because it could get stuck in them, and because it got stuck, he had to do the thinking all night.

So far, there was no breakthrough in his thoughts.

Envision someone lying awake in bed all night and staring at the ceiling in the dark, left alone with troubled or pleasant thoughts.

What sentence best re-states the paragraph below?

All skunks have a superb defense system--the ability to spray a foul-smelling fluid from two glands near the base of their tail. Skunk musk is oily and difficult to remove. If sprayed in the eyes, it causes intense pain and temporary blindness. Skunk kittens can spray when they are only eight days old, long before they can aim, a skill they exhibit only after their eyes open at about 24 days. Skunks attempt to give a warning before they spray: both Hooded and Striped skunks stamp their front feet before turning around and spraying.
The spray from a skunk is difficult to wash out and can hurt the eyes.
Skunks’ spray is a powerful defense that is difficult to avoid, but skunks do warn before spraying.
Skunks’ spray is used to attack other animals without warning.
Skunk kittens are dangerous because they can spray before they can aim.

Answers

Answer:

I think it would be "Skunks’ spray is a powerful defense that is difficult to avoid, but skunks do warn before spraying."

Explanation:

Because the other sentences are either talking about the things that get mentioned in the paragraph or only a part of the paragraph. But, the "Skunks' spray is a powerful defense that is difficult to avoid, but skunks do warn before spraying", sums up the whole paragraph. :)

Dear Liza,

Hi, Liza. I hope you're holding up well after that terrible accident. I'm writing in behalf of our class.

The class had been so shocked when Miss Nancy told us about your family getting to an accident. Some girls, like Jessie and Polly, even burst into tears. We are glad to hear you only broke your leg and had some minor injuries though, as far worse things could have happened.

We missed you a lot in class today. Hayley, Ronald, and I took turns copying an extra set of notes for you in every class. Gemma helped you pass up the assignments you left in your locker. James did your classroom duty for you. So, don't worry about school, and get good rest!

We heard about your sister passing away, and we're very sorry for your loss. When you are ready, feel free to call any of us and have a talk! We are most willing to accompany you through your grieving.

To sum it all up, we miss you incredibly, and we wish you and your family all the best in recovering. Hope you come back to our sides soon.      

With love,

Caitlin and Class 7 Beta

Extended Life: Imagine that you have been given the only existing dose of an experimental drug that will allow you to live up to 150 years old. For most of that time you will be healthy and active. No one else on earth will have access to this drug so they will continue to have normal lifespans as you continue to live. What would you do with your extended lifespan. Be sure to address the following questions: How will this affect your life plans? How will this affect your career choices? Will this affect your decision to get married? Explain. Will you have children if you know that you will outlive them? Explain. Will you seek out close friendships with people that you know will die long before you do? Explain. Will you continue to take your health seriously if you know you have so much extra time? Explain. Is there any value to having a normal lifespan? Explain. What lessons did you learn from this thought experiment?

Answers

Don’t click links in this app a lot of people use them to spread viruses and the like. If I were given a drug which extended my lifetime to such a high degree, it would affect my life in many ways. I would consider my plans more loosely and allow myself more time for things; I would plan my career slowly and take my time to learn and do what I want rather than forcing myself to choose a career young. I’d experiment and find out what I like; if I have a dream job I’d go for it when, otherwise, I would’ve chosen something more stable. I would probably still get married although I’d be more careful, as I’d live long enough to see them die and have to live without them the rest of my long life, which would affect me a lot. This goes for other people too; relationships would seem much more precious because of how short they are for me. I’d care a lot more and be ready to protect my friends because their lives would seem so temporary to me. I would still seek close relationships of course, they’d just seem much more fragile and precious to me. I would probably not have children though I don’t plan on it anyways, but outliving them would make me sad. Either way if I want to have children in the future it wouldn’t matter that much how long I lived. I would take my health seriously until I get old enough that a normal person would’ve died; then I’d be more reckless since if I die, it’ll just be the same as if I never had the experimental drug. I would enjoy a longer life which sates my curiosity, allows me to take my time, and allows me to spend more time doing things I love and trying new things. However, a longer life span would mean outliving those I love— and as a result having to deal with much more grief and loss than if I lived a normal lifespan. Longer lifespans would give more of the human experience; an experience full of every range of emotions. If I were to live 150 years rather than 90 or so, the only difference would be that I experience more of both grief and happiness; that I go through more losses and more joys, more ups and more downs, than normal. But to some the human experience, even with all of the losses, would be worth living even a little longer. This thought experiment provides a lesson about fragility of human lives, and how that makes lives seem much more precious and important. It also provides the question of what the human experience truly is— a rollercoaster with ups and downs, no matter how long it is. In my opinion, something worth having in any way possible.

Interpersonal racism involves discriminatory actions or attitudes towards individuals or groups based on their race or ethnicity, such as excluding certain races from admission or treating them unequally based on biased expectations. Therefore, option D is correct.

Interpersonal racism refers to discriminatory actions or attitudes displayed by individuals towards others based on their race or ethnicity. In each of the given examples, there is a clear demonstration of racial discrimination.

A school admitting only white students shows exclusionary practices based on race, indicating racism.

A teacher expecting higher grades from white students compared to Hispanic students suggests biased expectations and discrimination based on race.

A store allowing only white students to enter during lunchtime indicates racial segregation and discrimination.

In all these scenarios, individuals are being treated unfairly or unequally based on their racial background, which qualifies as examples of interpersonal racism.

Answer:

Many different groups have a lot of opinions about gun rights is the statement is an example of a claim that should be revised for clarity. Hence, option D is correct.

What does it mean to revise for clarity?

Write additional drafts of your essay to make your thoughts more clear to the reader. Write your argument so that your reader may understand it. Assume that your reader is not familiar with the topic of your essay when writing. Write with the intention of making the links between your thoughts clear to the reader.

When you enquire about someone's meaning, you're trying to get a deeper understanding of them by getting them to explain something or provide you more details. Unlike asking someone to repeat something, this is different.

The revision process consists of three steps: revising, editing, and proofreading. Additionally, it's critical to keep in mind that time management is a crucial component of the entire process of reading, creating, and editing your work.

Thus, option D is correct.
