Explanation:
A figurative language also known as figures of speech can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by authors, writers or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or write-up.
The main purpose of a figurative language is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of the piece.
Some examples of figurative language used in a literary work are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, metonymy, etc.
Metonymy was derived from the Greek word "metōnymía" which simply means change of name. It can be defined as a figurative language in which an object, thing, concept, or idea is referred to by the name of another that is closely related or associated with it. Thus, it involves substituting an object, thing, concept, or idea with a linked term having a close association.
A common example of metonymy is the pen is mightier than the sword.

To maintain a formal tone and style in an argumentative essay, a writer should replace
precise wording.
rhetorical devices.
long, flowing sentences.
overly charged language.
Answer:
D). Overly charged language.
Explanation:
In an argumentative essay, the author adopts a formal style and language tone in order to establish his/her sincere depiction of the topic. It is clearly reflected through the precise use of vocabulary to communicate his/her idea that allows the readers to form an uninfluenced opinion or conclusion about the topic.
When an author wishes to maintain a formal style, he/she must replace the 'overly charged language' with a 'clear and specific language.' The charged language reflects the author's personal opinion or emotions associated with the topic which degrades the author's respect and unbiasedness as it tries to persuade them. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
Answer: overly charged language

Explanation:
(2) Then, in the second half of the 19th century, a flood of immigrants began to arrive in America. Most of these newcomers came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station located in New York Harbor. Lacking the means or desire to move any farther, many of these immigrants settled where they landed—in New York City. Their large numbers overwhelmed an already crowded city. The streets became clogged with people and various types of streetcars vying for space on the roads.
Part A
In paragraph 2, why does the author include the fact that most immigrants coming to America came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station?
A. to support a claim about how popular New York was at the time
B. to support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased
C. to support a claim about how superior New York's transportation system was at the time
D. to support a claim about how important it was for New York to have quick transportation out of the city
Answer:
B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.
Explanation:
In the given passage about the surge of immigrants in America, the author includes how most of the immigrants came through the Ellis Island Immigration Station. This New York harbor would be the main point of entry for most of the "newcomers".
By including this information about the station, the author is providing support to the claim that New York City is "overwhelmed" by the surge in the immigrants who settled on the place they landed- New York. So, the city became more crowded, although it was already crowded, with "various types of streetcars vying for space on the roads." This added to the increased population of the city.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Answer:
B. To support a claim about how quickly New York's population increased.

what is medusa's advice to Percy? do you think he should follow this advice? why or why not
Answer: Medusa's advice is to wish good luck to Percy
Explanation: Hope that helps....
How still it is; the signal light At set of sun shines palely green; A thrush sings; other sound there's none, Nor traveller to be seen
line explanation
I believe they are talking about seeing the northern lights ><
"how still it is" refers to how life seems to be still around the observer
"the signal light at set of sun" when the sun sets you are only able to see them then
"shines palely green" the color of the northern lights
"a thrush sings" a thrush is a song bird
"other sound there's none" there is no sound around except for that of the bird
"nor traveller to be seen" no one is around aside from the observer, themselves
this is my interpretation of it at least ><

Explanation:
Have a nice day!
did they both reach the same temperature at the end
Answer:
Not entirely sure :O
Explanation:
The rate of heat transfer from one body to another depends on the difference in temperature between the two bodies and many other factors. Higher the temperature difference, faster is the rate of heat flow.
It depends on many things, but if on the same conditions, it was probably equal, however a small change can make the speed at which they reach the same temperature different.

Read the last stanza of Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken." Why is it significant that the two roads diverged?
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
from "The Road Not Taken"
by Robert Frost
ОА. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less tra
the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.
OB. One of the forks in the road represents the speaker in his youth when he chose a road; the other stands for the sp-

reserved.
Answer:
A. The speaker is recalling, "with a sigh," how difficult it had been for him to choose the more traveled or the less traveled of the two roads. The forked road is a metaphor for the inherent duality in the natural world.
Explanation:
In this poem, the author talks about life through a metaphor. He describes life as a walk through the forest, in which a person has to decide what path he or she wants to take. The author reflects on the difficulty of making that choice. He also realizes that his life turned out to be a certain way because he chose a certain path. The two paths represent the possible choices people can make in life, and the impact that these have in determining their future.

In general, do you think it’s OK for news stories to have a ‘slant’ or bias? Why or why not?
Answer:
no
Explanation:
due to the fact they are to report the truth and only the truth. Having a strong opinion will alter the path of the message that is being spread
No I don't think it is ok for news stories to have a slant or bias because in my opinion bias isn't necessarily a bad thing, because everyone is biased. It is part of our human nature to have perspectives, preferences, prejudices, and our own beliefs. Also or our own opinions. We are all biased toward information or people or things that show us that they are good or great or right or true or trustworthy. We are biased toward the people or information that supports us, makes us look good, And agrees with or confirms our existing judgements and virtues. And we are biased toward the more moral choices of actions at least, That which seems moral to us. But hidden media bias misleads, manipulates and divides us all. Also even though bias may be beneficial in helping form an informed public as it enables facts and information to be seen through different lenses, And opinions to be openly expressed and compared. So that no so called "bad or wrong" ideas, Are identified and dismissed or ridiculed. But this is not the media's primary duty or job their primary duty or job is to present us with important facts and information when they occur not include or involve or put facts and information that aren't true or fake or made up or not real. Because this information the media gives us affects the way we think and the actions we make or take in response to it. Also the news media plays an essential role in society, Because media coverage has major impact on the public when it says or tells them the whole event and provide reliable facts and information about numerous issues such as environment, technology and risk. Additionally the media is considered as a important source of information and opinion for readers through newspapers, magazines, television, radio and the internet. Various studies have exposed that the public increases their knowledge base about science from the mass media. And the media can also place pressure on the government to act by signaling a need for intervention or showing that citizens want to see a change about or for something. Also news media networks already affect the public's interest in politics by presenting the people with what they want them to see. Even if there are many issues going on, The media will focus on the one they consider to be the most important. And other actually really important issues are often overlooked. For these reasons, the quality of the media's coverage matters so they shouldn't have a slant or bias.
