Answer: You were as brave as a lion

They fought like cats and dogs.

He is as funny as a barrel of monkeys

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

I drove my weight on it from above and bored it home like a shipwright bores his beam with a shipwright’s drill that men below, whipping the strap back and forth, whirl and the drill keeps twisting, never stopping –So we seized our stake with it fiery tip and bored it round and round in the giant’s eye. its crackling roots blazed and hissed - as a blacksmith plunges a glowing ax or adze in an ice-cold bath and the metal screeches steam and its temper hardens - that’s the iron’s strength - so the eye of Cyclops sizzled round that stake. Her mind in torment, wheeling like some lion at bay, dreading the gangs of hunters closing their cunning ring around him for the finish."

Explanation: Odysseus gives a descriptive account of how he defeats the Cyclops Polyphemus. Because he is speaking to the Phaecians, a sea-faring people, they would understand the comparison to a shipwright’s drill. : Odysseus compares the sizzling sound of the Cyclops’ eye to that of sticking fire-hot metal in cold water.  Penelope expresses her feeling of helplessness by comparing the suitors to hunters and herself to a trapped lion. The lion reference shows she still considers herself noble.

Answer:

text structure: talking about years and dates that are important information.

Discuss the major plot events of the play—the exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution—in detail.

Answers

Answer:

Exposition: A direct way of telling the reader/audience what's happening in the story before it starts. It sets the tone of the whole storyincluding establishing the characters and where the story is going to take place. Think of James Bond's conversations with M at MI6. This is the exposition part of the story.

Rising Action: Because of what is established in the exposition, the characters in the story are led to do something. This part gets more suspenseful as the story progresses making the audience wonder what's going to happen next. That's why it's a "rising" action. Think of Bond's activities when he's gathering intelligence about the antagonist and surveilling him.

Climax: This is usually the most important part of the story. It's the culmination of everything that's happened in the story so far and the point where a choice or an action is made the affects every part of the story. Think of the moment when Bond meets the antagonist, or more specifically, their outright confrontation.

Falling action: This is the part of the story which shows the consequences of climax and the "fallout." Think of Bond escaping from a place that's about to go up in flames after he's beat his antagonist.

Resolution: This is the conclusion of the story that wraps everything up and fills in any details that hadn't been revealed before so that the story is fully understood. And it gives you an indication of what's to happen once the story ends too. Think of the last bit of a Bond movie when Bond gets the girl again.

Hope this helps!

Exposition: Beginning of a story

- the main characters are introduced

- background information from before the story is discussed

- setting explained

Rising Action: 2nd part, rising to the climax

- this is the part of the story where the problem is introduced

- suspense and problems up as the characters face conflict

- where small battles or problems are fought which leads up to the ultimate "face down"

Climax: Most intense and exciting part in a story

- character faces the biggest problem of them all

- most exhilarating part of a story, you don't know what's going to happen

- if there is a major plot twist in the story it will usually be here

Falling Action: Probelms slowly get resoled

- tension in the story decreases, problems are slowly getting resolved

- opposite of rising action

Resolution: Conclusion/end to the story, all problems are solved

- end of the story, tension is at its lowest

- all problems will be resolved by the resolution

- unanswered questions are answered

Read the following questions and fill in the blanks with most appropriate words from the options:-
The bat is the only mammal ………….. can fly

a) that
b) which
c) who
d) whose

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Who and whose (which is wrong for a couple of reasons) refer to people. So neither of those 2 can be the answer.

Which and that are all that is left.

The usage is very close. Which, I think, is the correct answer. It usually begins a clause that adds more information to the noun (usually) that it modifies. In this case, the clause modifies mammal and tells it that is unique in that it can fly.

That is normally a pronoun that oddly modifies again usually a specific noun. You are not talking about a bat that lives in your back yard and that you have named. Bats in general are the only mammals that fly.

I still would use which.

Why might poets be tapped (asked or chosen) to read or speak at presidential inaugurations?

Answers

Answer:

Poets might be tapped because it is probably hard to speak in front of millions of people and talking about something that you wrote.

Explanation:

that is the explanation

The inauguration of the president of the U.S is a ceremony that marks the beginning of the president's new four-year term in office.

The fundamental objective of a presidential inauguration is to serve as a symbolic invitation to all citizens of the United States to put aside their differences during the election and respectfully accept the majority's decision.

It is a significant event that signified the end of the previous presidential term and the beginning of the current one. Poets often have a good understanding of how to use speech to elicit a specific emotion in the listener. They can use this ability to instill the spirit of patriotism and unity that the new cabinets were intended to portray.

the tragic division of families in the U.S. Civil War

Explanation:

Culturally specific terms are references that are unique to particular cultures and which other cultures might not understand or would have different interpretations to. The U.S Civil War and the effects from it would most likely be understood by families in the U.S because they experienced the war.

Answers

Answer:a

What is summary?

A summary is the essential notion of a setting, story, or poetry that assists in understanding the major issue of the chapter or novel. The summary of the poetry or tale must be appropriately worded. It addresses all the critical key issues identified.

Identify the important subclaims used by the author to argue the primary point in order. Therefore, it can be concluded that, option A is correct.
