what figure of speech is used in the phrase " she would rather lose her eyesight than be around when i make one of my infrequent scences".​

Answers

Answer 1
I honestly need more context. But I can confirm it isn’t a simile,metaphor or personfication. My guess is that it is a hyperbole(exaggeration) but I’m not 100% sure because I don’t know any background info on the story the quote came from.
Answer 2
I agree with the other answer, saying that context is important. But I do believe this is a hyperbole as well.

She likely wouldn’t really prefer to lose her eyesight, she’s exaggerating that to prove how undesirable the narrator‘s infrequent scenes are.

What is the author's most likely purpose in presenting

Read the excerpt from Chapter 2 of Wheels of Change.
Dr. Benjamin Ward Richardson of Great Britain, a big fan
of the wheel, nevertheless summarized its pitfalls in his
1895 article "What To Avoid in Cycling." Among those
pitfalls were several dangers that resulted from "teaching
the practice to subjects who are too young." Richardson
believed serious riding should not be done by males or
females until the skeleton was completely matured,
which he said happened around age 21.
o to persuade young readers to avoid riding bicycles
until they are older
O to entertain readers with a story about a doctor who
was against cycling
to inform readers about one reason why cycling was
controversial in the 1800s
to emphasize that the advantages of cycling are not

Answers

Answer:

To inform readers about one reason why cycling was controversial in the 1800s

Explanation:

The reason why the author mentions Dr. Richardson's research is to inform the readers about one reason why cycling was controversial in the 1800s.

Wheels of Change is a book written by Sue Macy about how important cycling was in the emancipation of women in late-nineteenth-century America. The purpose of the book is mostly to inform - not to persuade or entertain. Dr. Richardson is a prominent figure from that time, and Macy tells us about his opinion on this matter.

What is Mixed economy?

A mixed economy is an economic system that combines elements of both a market economy and a planned economy.

In a mixed economy, both private and government ownership and control exist in various sectors of the economy.

This means that the government regulates some industries and provides certain public goods and services, while other industries are left to be regulated by the market and operated by private businesses.

The main goal of a mixed economy is to achieve a balance between economic growth and social welfare. The government's role is to promote economic stability and provide public goods and services such as healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

The private sector, on the other hand, is responsible for producing and distributing goods and services to meet consumer demand and generate profit.

Some examples of countries that have a mixed economy include the United States, Canada, Australia, and many European nations.

My sisters and I were somewhat close to Hacienda Dorada. Even though Pita, the twins, and Juanita would not stop complaining about how tired they were, we could not stop. We had to get to Hacienda Dorada before dawn because there were no safe places to sleep in the forest. When I felt like giving up, I reminded myself that it was my duty to make sure we got there safely.
As we walked under the scalding hot sun, trying to get some interaction going, Pita said, "Who do you guys think is the most frightening and dangerous monster?”. It was a great question and had me thinking for a few minutes, but the twins quickly shouted "Chaneque!" in unison. Pita looked confused, and asked: "Who is Chaneque?". The other girls proceeded to give a long explanation. They disagreed with something Juanita said, ended up discussing, and as always I had to be the one to stop them before they got into a fight.
It was getting dark, and we were scared. “We should try to find somewhere to sleep before it gets too dark,” Delia said. We all agreed with her and I said, “I did not want to sleep in the forest because God only knows how dangerous it is but since we have no choice, let’s stay together. If you guys see something tell me okay?”. After walking for about 15 minutes, I could not believe my eyes. Chaneque jumped and was standing right in front of us. He was small but had big feet and elf-like features. We were petrified and did not know what to do.
My first instinct was to call for help using the ear pendant Lla Lorona gave me. “Aztec Queen, Tonanzin, Holy Mother of all mankind, please give us your magical assistance! Protect us from any harm that the Chaneque might try to do to us”.
He was hypnotized for a few minutes and then said in a firm and arrogant tone: “Who are you guys, and what are you doing here?”. I told the girls not to worry and get behind me. “Please, do not harm us. I am Odilia, and these are my sisters; Pita, Delia, Velia, and Juanita. We are trying to get to my Abuelita Remedios house. Sorry if we bothered you, it was not our intention”. Chaneque was still standing there looking at us with a wrathful face. I did not know what else to do. “How do I know I can trust you guys? I am not letting you go until I know your story is veridic and you will not harm me or nature”, “Well I love nature”, said Velia, trying to make the situation better, “Shhh, let me handle it,” I said.
It was pitch black. I could not see much anymore. At the best of my ability, I told Chaneque the whole story of how we got here. "You guys faced the lechuzas, Cecilia, the Nagual, and many more atrocious creatures by yourselves while running from the authorities? Wow. You are all strong, and your sister bond is very admirable,” said Chaneque. “Yes, and thank you so much,” I said, “but we did not do everything by ourselves. We had the help of Lla Lorona. She gave me this'', I showed the ear pendant to him. All of my sisters were shocked, but I did not have time to explain everything right now, which is why I pretended not to see their astonished faces. “Ah, Lla Lorona, she is one of the people that teaches you the lesson, do not judge a book by its cover”, Chaneque proclaimed.
We all kept talking for a few more minutes, laughed, ate, and had fun. I forgot about Hacienda Dorada, the creatures, and the fact that many people, including our mother, were frantically looking for us. Chaneque offered to give protection and take care of us while we slept since he was up 24/7. We gathered leaves and made a few “beds” so that we would not sleep in the rocks and dust of the forest. “This was probably the craziest day ever,” said Pita. “Agreed,” said Juanita.
After about an hour, we fell asleep under the big, starry blue sky.
As the sun got up, so did we. Once again we ate with Chaneque and thanked him for everything he had done for us, "Do not worry! I will keep taking care of the forest and will not let anything dangerous pass and put you guys at risk.” Anew, we thanked him and kept going. Today, we would finally get to Hacienda Dorada and see Abuelita Remedios after so many years.




































Dear Bob,

This is ______ writing from Asia Minor. in 334 B.C.E Alexander the Great conquered Asia Minor, along with the Greek and Macedonian army. It was so scary. I heard Alexander's plan on how he was going to use terror and kindness to invade empires. Bob, the kings who denied, their town and their cities would be nothing but debris. And the people, the would become slaves. The kings that gave in, could keep their government officials, and Alexander would assist rebuilding destructive property. Using that method, Alexander gained rule over three empires, Asia Minor, Egypt, and central Asia. Bob, the worst part is, is that I told my king about Alexander and his plan, but failed to do anything. This was how Alexander built his empire. My king gave into Alexander. (which means I am not a slave) and I am doing good. please use this information wisely.

Robert, Trevor's biological white father also showed some act of courage when he helped Patricia (Trevor's mother) rent a room in a white neighborhood, he even opened a restaurant that once welcomed people of different races.

In a sense, both of Trevor's parents are interconnected in their personality, since they had the moral strength to go against all odds in showing love to not just their son, but to their entire community when doing so was considered a crime by many.

Source 1: Reagan’s Remarks on East-West Relations at the Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, June 12, 1987

(1) … Behind me stands a wall that encircles the free sectors of this city, part of a vast system of barriers that divides the entire continent of Europe. From the Baltic, south, those barriers cut across Germany in a gash of barbed wire, concrete, dog runs, and guard towers. Farther south, there may be no visible, no obvious wall. But there remain armed guards and checkpoints all the same—still a restriction on the right to travel, still an instrument to impose upon ordinary men and women the will of a totalitarian state. Yet it is here in Berlin where the wall emerges most clearly; here, cutting across your city, where the news photo and the television screen have imprinted this brutal division of a continent upon the mind of the world. Standing before the Brandenburg Gate, every man is a German, separated from his fellow men. Every man is a Berliner, forced to look upon a scar.…

(2) … And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without changing it? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.…



Source 2: Harald Jäger—The Man Who Opened the Berlin Wall

(1) Harald Jäger was on duty as the East German border guard officer in charge of the Bornholmer Strasse crossing of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. A few hours earlier, in keeping with the pressure to liberalize that was mounting across eastern Europe, East Berlin politburo member Günter Schabowski had announced that East Germans could travel to the West with correct travel documents. However, he ended his announcement with the words “immediately and without delay.”

(2) These words caused great confusion and led to thousands of East Germans coming to checkpoints and asking if they could go to West Berlin. Mr. Jäger tried several times to get clarification from his superiors, but no one was quite sure what was allowed. Eventually, he was told to start letting the noisiest East Berliners through but make their passports invalid. This only led to a noisier crowd.

(3) As the crowd grew and grew, he feared a stampede. Even more, he feared a bloodbath, as all of the East German guards were heavily armed. Mr. Jäger feared that they must do something or people would be hurt. Finally, at 11:30 p.m. on November 9, 1989, Mr. Jäger gave the order, “Open the barrier,” and in so doing unwittingly entered history as the man who opened the Berlin Wall. Thousands and thousands of East Berliners streamed into West Berlin to freedom. The next day, Berliners began to physically tear the wall.

Answers

Answer:

"I didn't open the wall. The people who stood here, they did it," says the 71-year-old with a booming voice who was an East German lieutenant colonel in charge of passport control at Bornholmer Street. "Their will was so great, there was no other alternative but to open the border."

Those people had come to his crossing at Bornholmer Street after hearing Politburo member Guenther Schabowski say — mistakenly, as it turns out — at an evening news conference on Nov. 9, 1989, that East Germans would be allowed to cross into West Germany, effective immediately.

Courtesy of Harald Jaeger

Schabowski was a member of the ruling Socialist Unity Party in East Germany who helped force East German leader Erich Honecker from power a month earlier because of mounting public pressure across the Soviet Bloc for reforms.

Jaeger recalls almost choking on his dinner when he heard Schabowski on his workplace cafeteria's TV set. He rushed to the office to get some clarification on what his border guards were supposed to do.

For East Berliners yearning to go to a part of their city that had been off-limits for 28 years, Schabowski's meaning couldn't have been clearer. He was a member of the ruling party, and what he said was law.

Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese navigator who was to find a western route to India and China on behalf of the Spanish crown. During this trip, Magellan discovered the interoceanic passage of the extreme south of the American continent, that received his name, being called Strait of Magellan. As he continued his journey to Southeast Asia, arriving in what is now the Philippines, he tried to land on Cebu Island, but the inhabitants of the territory responded in a hostile way. Thus, on April 27, 1521, there was a battle between the Spanish and the native inhabitants, in which Magellan died. All this was documented by Antonio Pigafetta, an Italian crew member who participated in this expedition.

a Alex does not want to perform.

b Alex is frustrated.

c Alex cannot wait to perform.

D Alex is nervous.

Answers

Answer:

"Alex felt his fingers begin to tremble like leaves in the wind"

D. Alex is nervous

Explanation:

This means that Alex is scared. In the fall time, or just on a windy day, leaves often shake very vigorously. When people are scared, they often shake. The author is comparing Alex to leaves being shaken to emphasize the feeling of nervousness he is experiencing.

Alex is nervous is the meaning of the simile in the paragraph. Thus, option D is correct.

 

What is a simile?

A simile, a figure of speech, is mostly used to connect two or more objects with a comparable feature. A simile is a rhetorical device in which two objects are clearly contrasted. Similes are different from other metaphors in that they use comparison to emphasize the similarities between two items.

This implies that Alex is frightened. During the fall or merely on windy days, leaves frequently tremble violently. People frequently tremble when they feel afraid. To underscore Alex's sense of unease, the author likens him to leaves that are being disturbed.

Therefore, option D is the correct option.

What is Mr. Bennet's attitude toward Catherine and Lydia's behavior?

Answers

Answer:

1. They should continue to socialize with their relatives and with the officers stationed in Meryton.

Explanation:

Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" revolves around the life of Elizabethan women with regards to getting married and the importance of social standing and honor. Mr. Bennet is the father of the five Bennet girls who are the protagonists of the story.

Mr. Bennet seems to have a much more relaxed approach when it comes to parenting. His wife is more strict with their children and it is to him that Elizabeth turns to for comfort and support. While having no concerns for society and its 'ways', he also seems to have no interest in the conventional Elizabethan society. And it was also his 'voice' that allowed Lydia to go to Bath, which ended up disastrously for the family as she would elope with Wickham.

So, in his approach as a father to the five girls, he particularly did not care much what they do. He has special favor for the eldest two- Elizabeth and Jane but leaves the others at the hands of their mother. So, we can safely assume that he would expect the two youngest Catherine "Kitty" and Lydia to socialize and enjoy being among the guests at Meryton.
