Answer:
Professor Sherry Turkle's little "sips" of online connection is a metaphor that describes the little "pieces" of conversation that we are having by using technological devices.
Explanation:
MIT Professor, Sherry Turkle, PhD, and a licensed clinical psychologist, with a joint doctorate in sociology and psychology, notes that people are now avoiding the necessary conversations that we ought to be having with one another because we are "plugged-in" to various technological devices. In her write-up in the New York Times of April 21, 2012 titled "The Flight from Conversation," Professor Sherry Turkle urges people not to "sacrifice conversation for mere connection." Since we are technology-enabled, she declares that we should make the best use of it to remain conversationally connected to others whether they are near or far, but must still bring ourselves to enjoy the indispensable face-to-face conversations with our fellow human beings.

Answer:
Wealth makes people virtuous.
Explanation:
Benjamin Franklin's "The Way to Wealth" is a compilation of proverbs as a form of advising people of the ethical codes of maintaining oneself. In it, he advocates the importance of frugality and the securing of personal virtue. He also asserts that this frugal nature of an individual will also lead to his gaining of wealth. The phrase "<em>it being more difficult for a man in want to act always honestly</em>" basically means that a person with wealth will be more virtuous than a person who doesn't. In his opinion, people who are frugal with their expenditure will keep more wealth which will in turn lead to virtue.
B. They employ figurative language
Both of these excerpts engage the reader by making the text come alive. The first employs a metaphor when it says "<span>In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry". This metaphor is comparing the heritage in his friend's writing to a tortilla which then he extends into comparing to their souls.
The second piece employs imagery and personification when he describes "</span><span>the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head", showing that the trees are coming alive to show his friend that they are part of his heritage.</span>
