"And he gave her a jackknife, which she thought as great a treasure as if she were a desert islander."What form of figurative language does the phrase "as if she were a desert islander" demonstrate?A.idiomB.metaphorC.simileD.personification

Answer:

b. For example

Explanation:

The expression for example is a subordinating transition which introduces an illustration or model of what is mentioned before. Thus, it provides evidence to support the previous statement. As a result, refusing to bring American friends home is an exemplification of immigrant children feeling ashamed of their foreign-born parents.

The phrase on the other hand is incorrect because it is a coordinating transition which introduces an opposing point.

Background Information

This scene takes place in Act 3 (the climax of the play) after a conversation that Macbeth and Banquo have. In the latter, Banquo suspects of how Macbeth might have become the king, especially because he was present during the Witches' prediction.

Answer

Macbeth believes that his position as a king is not safe, so he says "to be the king means nothing if my position is threatened" There are two facts that don't let Macbeth be the king safely: One is that Banquo suspects of him, and the second one is that Banquo also received a prophecy from the witches saying that he would be "father to a line of kings". Macbeth wants the kingdom only for himself and he doesn't want Banquo's sons to overthrone him.

That is why he says after this:

Macbeth admits that he is afraid of Banquo, and he is afraid of how noble and loyal he is to the true king.

Banquo is very corageous and wise when he has to do something.

Banquo is the only person in the world I'm afraid of. Macbeth is afraid of Banquo because he is the only one that knows about the witches' prediction (therefore he suspects of him) and because his sons would be the future kings. Bear in mind that Macbeth's tragic flaw is ambition: First, he wanted to be king. Then he wanted to be the king without any threats and for good. Now that Banquo is considered a threat, he will have to kill him, and as he states later on: blood brings more blood.

As long as Banquo is alive, my "guardian angel" (who ever is keeping him alive) is afraid, just like the Guardian Angel of Marc Antony  was afraid of Caesar (This is an allusion to another play by Shakespeare)

Answer:

Macbeth wants the kingdom only for himself and he doesn't want Banquo's sons to overthrone him.

That is why he says after this:

"Our fears in Banquo stick deep, and in his royalty of nature reigns that which would be feared"

Macbeth admits that he is afraid of Banquo, and he is afraid of how noble and loyal he is to the true king.

"'Tis much he dares; and to that dauntless temper of his mind he hath a wisdom that doth guige his valour to act in safety."

Banquo is very corageous and wise when he has to do something.

"There is none but he, whose being I do fear"

Banquo is the only person in the world I'm afraid of. Macbeth is afraid of Banquo because he is the only one that knows about the witches' prediction (therefore he suspects of him) and because his sons would be the future kings.

"And under him my genius is rebuked, as is is said, Marc Antony's was by Caesar"

As long as Banquo is alive, my "guardian angel" (who ever is keeping him alive) is afraid, just like the Guardian Angel of Marc Antony was afraid of Caesar (This is an allusion to another play by Shakespeare)

Oxygen supply become alarmingly low.  This is why Krakauer is in a hurry to start back down when he reaches the top of Mount Everest.

Explanation:

“Into Thin Air” by “Jon Krakauer” is story about the author who climbed Mt. Everest. He saw the amazing view of Tibet below him, but he was not able to appreciate it. He was feeling weak and cold. Jon was constantly coughing, and all this was the result of extremely low levels of oxygen due to which his brain was also not working properly.

That’s why he asked “Andy Harris” to conserve the oxygen, but Harris opened the flow of the oxygen. Though he felt a lot better after the oxygen supply, but soon he realized that he would have to go down without oxygen to reach South Summit where another oxygen tank was kept.

Answer:

because he got new paints.

Explanation:

The last choice there! It's a group of words that have a subject & verb, but it doesn't express a complete thought, so it's a dependent clause!! It begins with the subordinating conjunction, because.

Answer:

Because he got new paints

Explanation:

That's because dependent clauses always begin with a subordinating conjunction. Because is a subordinating conjunction.

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Sentence has as many clauses as it has predicates.

A. Predicates are get to, (a)re not allowed to sleep. So this sentence has two clauses.

B. Predicate is use, so there is only one clause.

C. Predicate is will receive, so there is only one clause.

D. Predicates are will major and will minor, so there are two clauses.

Independent clauses are the ones which can stand alone and pass on the meaning on their own.

Dependent clauses serve to more precisely determine the meaning of the independent clause.

Answers B and C have only one clause  and since it can stand alone, it is an independent clause, so we do not have any dependent clause.

Answer D has two clauses, but they are both independent. (you can say I will major in chemistry and I will minor in  Theater arts separately)

Finally answer A has two clauses, the first one is dependent ( Until we get to Brooklyn), the second one is independent (we`re not allowed to sleep)

Miss Hilly likely invited Elizabeth due to strategic social maneuvering rather than genuine friendship, illustrative of themes of class and social dynamics in literature.

The reason Miss Hilly probably invited Elizabeth on this particular day likely has more to do with social stratification and manipulation than genuine friendship. Miss Hilly's financial status and social standing give her power, which she may use to include or exclude others based on what benefits her image or needs at the moment.

Inviting Miss Elizabeth could serve a specific purpose, such as enhancing her own status by playing the magnanimous friend, or perhaps she needed Elizabeth for some strategic social maneuvering. This kind of behavior is typical in literature exploring themes of class and social dynamics, where invitations and social gatherings are often loaded with hidden agendas and power plays.

Answer: Hippocampus.

Explanation: According to the question Maria is unable to remember her memories from when she was about a year and half, because the Hippocampus which is a section in the human brain responsible for memory has not fully been formed then.

The Hippocampus normally forms fully at about two years and half and above in humans, therefore it is almost impossible to remember anything that happens before the age of two and half .

Infantile or childhood amnesia is linked to the underdevelopment of the hippocampus, affecting memory storage of explicit memories before the age of 3.

Infantile or childhood amnesia is the concept that individuals tend to forget memories before the age of 3. This phenomenon is linked to the underdevelopment of the hippocampus, a brain structure crucial for storing explicit memories. The hippocampus plays a key role in encoding spatial relationships, contexts, and associations among memories.

Explanation Louise had loved her husband sometimes.  He had always been nice to her, and she thought that he loved her.  Yet, he had made her do things that she did not want to do.  She resented him for imposing his will on her.

After all, a person does not stop  loving her husband  for little reasons. Either Mr. Mallard was doing something really bad occasionally to Louise, or she was not fair in her judgment of him. This feeling of who she is and who she can be is by far the "strongest" she has  ever felt.

Just the day before, she felt that her life would always be the way he wanted it to be. But now, her days would be her own.

Answer:

A. Because of Rebecca’s religious background, Ivanhoe feels that she, being Jewish, is far less a person than himself, being Christian.

Explanation:

In "Ivanhoe," by Walter Scott, the prison chamber helps develop the interaction between Rebecca and Ivanhoe because he is wounded and unable to stand to watch the battle for himself. However, even though Ivanhoe's racist tone, Rebecca fights her loving feelings for him because she knows he will never love her back.

Ivanhoe treats Rebecca badly because of her Jewish background, which he views as inferior. This is shown when Rebecca compares herself to a "war-horse" and a "hunting hound."

Rebecca is treated badly by Ivanhoe because of her religious background as a Jew. Ivanhoe's Christian beliefs make him view Rebecca as inferior and unworthy of his respect. This is evident when Rebecca compares herself to a "war-horse" and a "hunting hound," implying that Ivanhoe sees her as less than human.

Received Pronunciation, or more abbreviated as RP is the more commonly acknowledged form of spoken English that is considered to be the true British accent. It is also known by various other names such as "Oxford English, Queen's English, BBC English" etc.

Received Pronunciation is a variety of the English spoken in Britain without any identifiable regional space. Though often instantly recognized as the 'official' British English, its use and importance is on the wane. Not everyone is using it nowadays, though it is more likely to be seen being used in formal speeches and educated speakers. The one main important fact about this RP is that it is an accent and not a dialect. Thus, the standard for the English language in the United Kingdom is known as Received Pronunciation.

Answer:

A logical fallacy is a mistaken belief to the effect that inferences having a certain structure are valid. Put another way,  a logical fallacy is a belief in the legitimacy of what is in fact an illegitimate rule of inference.  As the examples below indicate, logical fallacies are sometimes a reflection of mere prejudice and in other cases they embody actual ratiocinative  shortcomings.

Explanation:

Here are some examples:

(1) People will often accept what people in authority, even if the data clearly indicates that they're wrong. If an economist from Harvard weighs in on an issue and homeless person weighs in on that same issue, the economist will be believed and the homeless person will be ridiculed, even if the data makes it very clear that the homeless person is right. (This is known as the 'fallacy of authority.' )

(2) People tend judge others by their words, not their deeds, with the result that a grouchy person who does good is seen as evil, whereas an evil person who pays lip-service to virtue is seen as good.

(3) People assume that what they are not familiar with is impossible. Smith says that his girlfriend has symptoms XYZ and Jones, not having ever personally seen anybody exhibiting those symptoms, refuses on that basis alone to believe Jones.

(4) People have some tendency to assume that entailments are 'convertible', i.e. that if q follows from p, then p also follows from q ('if Smith was decapitated, then he died; so given that he died, he must have been decapitated'). This known as 'affirming the consequent.'        

(5) It is assumed that confirmation is transitive, i.e. that if p confirms q and q confirms r, then p confirms. But this is not so. Smith's being a crime boss is evidence of his having considerable, and Smith's having considerable wealth is evidence of his having some kind of legitimate employment; but Smith's being a crime boss is not evidence of his having legitimate employment.

When people commit fallacies 1-3, their doing so tends to have an emotional basis; they want to believe that authority-figures are good people, that people are honest, and that what is strange is impossible. When people commit fallacies 4 and 5, their doing is less a reflection of emotionally rooted prejudices than of sheer lack of acumen. In any case, all of these fallacies are routinely committed.

Answer:

They are "blips" so to say in an argument. They can also be known as cognitive distortions because the "distort" reason.

A good example is a false dichotomy, aka forcing an argument into only 2 possible answers, this distorts logical reasoning which states there can be multiple.

Explanation:

A hero is someone who selflessly helps others, often without seeking fame, such as teachers or healthcare professionals. My high school history teacher is an example of an everyday hero due to his dedication to education and instilling social responsibility in students.

A hero can be defined in many different ways, but fundamentally, a hero is someone who is exceptionally courageous, altruistic, and inspirational. To most people, a hero might be someone famous who has accomplished great deeds. However, in my own understanding, a hero is truly someone who selflessly goes out of their way to help others, often without any desire for recognition or fame.

For example, I consider my high school history teacher to be an everyday hero. Although teaching might not seem heroic in the traditional sense, his dedication to educating young minds and his passion for instilling a sense of social responsibility in his students goes beyond the call of duty. He worked tirelessly to ensure that each of his students not only learned about history but also understood its relevance to our current lives, encouraging us to become active, informed citizens. His commitment to education and contribution to the community exemplifies true heroism.

Heroes don't always wear capes or leap from the pages of a comic book; often, they are the individuals who are steadfast in their commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others, day in and day out—like the teachers who shape our worldviews and the healthcare professionals who care for our well-being.

A. Figure of speech about divisions among people

Note: It would be better to restate it as, Figure of speech about divisions among people on political basis.

Red States and Blue States

It is a figure of speech namely (political metaphor) for partisanship (prejudice in favor of a particular cause; bias).

It is not really about division among people, it is about in which party's favor majority of the people of a particular state vote.

Explanation:

This metaphor originated in USA during 2000 presidential elections. In USA political context denotes states in which majority of the people have voted for Democrats (Blue States) or for Republicans (Red States).

This full phrase "The pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States" was used by a young senatorial candidate from Illionoise named Barack Obama. By using this political metaphor he wanted to convey a message to media and election pundits and to the public that The USA is united and it can not be divided neither on political basis nor by any other method.

This metaphor has never been used by others to see the United States as two separate countries.

Explanation:

the higher the risk of the loan might be the higher the fees charged will be too

Answer:

Since commercial finance companies offer loans to higher-risk customers than commercial banks, the interest rates they charge are usually Higher than rates charged by banks.

Higher

Explanation:

There is a big difference between finance companies and banks. That is the exposure they have because they don't have deposits from which they can profit by lending that money to someone else. So, as a cause of their higher level of exposure, they charge a higher interest than banks when they lend money to individuals. They also, don't ask for collateral to secure the bank in case the individual defaults the payment. Nevertheless, they have special insurances for these operations.

Explanation: from my point of view the post test only is the answer because Hayden prefers to test the participants only after they have been in touch with the poem, that means that they hear or read it already.

Hayden has employed an experimental design that investigates the effect of auditory versus visual stimuli on memory recall. This design is connected to the concept of encoding, where deeper, semantic processing has been shown to result in better memory retention.

Hayden has employed a type of experimental design that focuses on comparing the impact of different types of stimulus on memory recall.

In this experiment, the two types of stimulus are auditory and visual presentations of a poem. After the presentation, participants are then asked to answer questions about the poem to test their memory recall. This design is a form of the cued-recall testing method.

Researchers like Fergus Craik and Endel Tulving have used similar methods to test levels of encoding, which refers to the process by which information is stored in the memory.

Encoding can occur at multiple levels: visual, acoustic, and semantic. Each type of processing can impact the effectiveness of memory recall differently. For instance, semantic processing, which deals with understanding the meaning of words, is often found to result in better memory recall than visual or acoustic encoding.

These findings are aligned with the theory of elaborative encoding, where memory retention is enhanced through deeper processing of information, such as linking adjectives to oneself, as researched by Rogers, Kuiper, and Kirker.

Understanding these principles can help in designing effective memory recall studies and interpreting research results, similar to how Hayden has structured their experiment on the effect of auditory versus visual stimuli.

B) the word choice darkens the tone

Explanation:

Edgar Allan Poe builds suspense in "The Masque of the Red Death" through thematic use of color, character reactions, and gothic descriptions that create a foreboding atmosphere.

Edgar Allan Poe uses several techniques to build suspense in the excerpt from "The Masque of the Red Death." His thematic use of color, specifically the blood-tinted panes and the dark chamber, evokes a sense of foreboding. The intense reaction of the characters to the chamber, where they exhibit fear and reluctance to enter, also heightens the sense of uncertainty and dread.

Furthermore, Poe's rich, gothic descriptions, involving words like 'ghastly,' 'wild,' and 'blood-red,' create a chilling atmosphere that leaves the reader anticipating something ominous.
