Answer:

<em>'He is the same colour </em><em>as </em><em>the earth, and a great deal less interesting to look at.'</em>

Explanation:

George Orwell uses Simile, a figurative language device that compares two things using the adverbs like or as.

When describing the people working on the land he refers to them as the unvisible part of a (beautiful) visible landscape. This is a very subtle way of critisizing the British Empire that ignores (they don´t see them) the working people who, seen by Orwell, are doing important work.

Let the assembly begun change into active voice ​
Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Active voice is when someone does something while passive voice is when something is being done by someone. Even though these sound different, the <em>same thing</em> is happening in the story; it's just written differently.

Active: "Johnny bit into an apple."

Passive: "The apple was bit into by Johnny."

These are the same action being performed but written differently, see? With active voice, the main subject is at the beginning. With passive the main subject is at the end.

"Let the assembly began" is passive. Let's switch that around to active. We know that the assembly is beginning.

"The assembly is being let to begin!"

There's the answer.

Write an argumentative essay for or against using public money to maintain national landmarks, such as the gateway Arch in St. L
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

A conclusion that is in favour:

"Using public money to maintain national landmarks is a good policy in the sense that a national landmark is a public good: no one can be excluded from enjoying the view of a national landmark like the Arch in St. Louis for example.

Because they are public goods, national landmarks are not likely to be profitable or provided by the private sector in a free market, and for this reason, government intervention in the form of public money becomes necessary".
