A simile is a figure of speech where you use words such as <u>like</u> or <u>as</u> to show a comparison between two or more things.
Here, the simile "like some unemployed janitor who'd gone to Reno and won a million-dollar jackpot" is used to denote happiness and ecstasy at winning something unexpectedly, which happened to the hunter and his 'trophy" in the novel.

Revise and edit the paragraph. Ensure that it uses a consistent verb tense throughout.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Elisa's character is established in the place where she was safest and most comfortable - the chrysanthemum garden, but it changes when we see her on the road with Henry. Her actions while tending the garden reveal that she felt confident, powerful, and in charge in that setting. This confidence was evident when she skillfully destroys the insects before they can harm the plants. Her pride in her flowers in this setting is also what makes her open up to the stranger, after being wary of him at first. The garden setting provided the opportunity for the man and Elisa to interact in a more intimate way than another setting would, revealing a new side of Elisa.

The title of Michelle’s speech is: Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected. Which of the following would be the bes
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

d. Each person has the fundamental right to have absolute control over his or her personal information

Explanation:

When we take the title of the speech into consideration - "Our Privacy on the Internet Should Be More Protected" - the best option of a thesis statement seems to be letter d. A thesis statement consists of one or two sentences with the purpose of informing the reader about the author's opinion and the subject of what will be read, as well as guide the author so that they won't lose focus.

Letter a would be a good option if it didn't mention "genetic information". That topic takes a very specific detour away from the subject of privacy. They can be related, but that is not what we expect after reading the title.

Letter b is not a statement at all. The question asked has the intention of making the reader curious, but does not state the author's opinion.

Letter c is not a thesis statement due to its length. It already develops the argument, which should be done in the speech or essay's body.

That leaves us with letter d. It's a one-sentence statement in which we find the author's opinion and which gives us an idea of what will be developed in the speech or essay.
