Answer:

The excerpt above is an example of:

<em>hyperbole  (A)</em>

<em>figurative language (C) </em>

<em>verbal irony  (D)</em>

Explanation:

Figurative language is s the use of the language in any way that is not firmly literal. There are at least six distinct categories. They are metaphors, similes, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism, and irony.

In the excerpt above, there are two of them, hyperbole and verbal Irony. The example for the hyperbole is this: “with all the force in his body”. The meaning of the sentence is an exaggeration, if you literally used all the force in your body, you would not resist, so we should not take it as what it literally means. The example for the verbal irony is: “an opportunity to reward me” the actioner was going to do exactly the opposite of what was said, he was going to punish the man, and that is certainly the irony, the use of the opposite of any word that should be used.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A. Pyramus and Thisbe speak through the wall that separates their houses.

B. Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns.

C. Thisbe arrives at the meeting place ahead of Pyramus.

Explanation:

These are the three options that happened by chance that affected the outcome of "Pyramus and Thisbe".

Pyramus and Thisbe is a story about two young Babylonia lovers who fall in love with each other but whose families hate each other so they find a way to talk to each other through the wall and when they can no longer bear it, they decide to elope.

The two lovers agree to meet at the mulberry tree but Thisbe arrives before Pyramus and sees a lioness with a bloodied jaw from a recent kill, she assumes the lioness has killed Pyramus, she screams and runs away from the scene.

Shortly after, Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns and sees the same lioness with bloodied jaw and assumes Thisbe has been devoured by it. In his grief, he kills himself, but before he dies he sees Thisby and discovers she's still alive. Thisby also kills herself.

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question. Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle h
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Humorous

Explanation:

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.
