This question is incomplete because two options are missing; here is the complete question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

The girl was looking off at the line of hills. They were white in the sun and the country was brown and dry.

"They look like white elephants," she said.

What type of figurative language is used in the passage above?

alliteration

metaphor

personification

simile

According to the above, the correct answer is the last option Simile

Explanation:

To begin with, figurative language refers to the non-literal language, which is used in poetry, literature and similar to aesthetical purposes and to convey meaning. In the case of simile, this is about creating a comparison between two elements, people, etc. by using words such as "like" or "as". This occurs in the section "They look like white elephants" because the author compares the hills with white elephants by using the word "like". Thus, the type of figurative language is clearly simile.

3. The vast farmland in Virginia is only one of Jerrys ______; he also own a jewelry company, several vehicles, and an industria
solniwko [45]

Answer: c. assets

Explanation:

Assets are things that people own that either makes them money or is valuable enough that it can be sold for money.

Jerry's farmland makes money and can be sold for money as well which makes it an asset. The vehicles and the industrial land are also valuable and the jewellery store makes money so these are all assets.

Assets determine the economic net worth of a person such that when they say Elon Musk is worth $185 billion, they mean his net assets are valued at that amount.

Which of the following sentences uses a colon correctly?
Tomtit [17]
The correct answer is C. The first example cannot be correct because the colon simply doesn't fit there - a comma would fit better. The second one is also incorrect as you don't need to put a colon after every word, just once before the first word. The last example also doesn't need a colon, you can just enumerate these various states without the use of colon. So naturally, we are left with only one option, and that is C.

Mike went to the ATM to take out $20 for the movies. Later in the day, he transferred $36 to his checking account
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The letter A represents where the amount of $20 should be written.

The letter D represents where the amount of $36 should be written.

The ending balance, E, is $154.85.

Mike withdrew $20 at an ATM, so A, which is in the "ATM Withdrawal Debit" box, is $20.

Mike later transferred $36 to his checking account. Transferring means moving away to another place, so that $36 is represented by D, which is in the "Transfer From Savings Deposit" box.

Now, Mike withdrew $20 (-20) and transferred in $36 (36). According to the balance from 3/16, he had $138.85. $138.85 - $20 + $36 = $154.85.

Hope this helped!
