“Your words are bees about a pear-tree" is an example of a metaphor.

A metaphor is the use of a word or phrase to refer to something that it is not, invoking a direct similarity between the word or phrase used and the thing described, without the use of the words “like” or “as’’. Metaphor is very expressive and it states that something is something else. To find the meaning in a metaphor, it requires much understanding. “Your words are bees about a pear-tree" is an example of a metaphor. From this example, words are referred to bees about a pear-tree. Words and bees are not alike but do have something in common.

The correct answer to this question is letter " a. metaphor." <span>Your words are bees about a pear-tree. From that statement, it is comparing words to the bees without the use of any keywords like "like and as ... as." So this is definitely a metaphor, not a simile.</span>

Which of the following is often provided by anthropologists and biologists as a possible explanation for the development of bipe
Lerok [7]

Answer:

C. Standing upright allowed for sightlines over tall grasses and savanna shrubbery

Explanation:

One of the most accepted theories about the development of bipedalism of the hominids is that it was mostly because of the tall grasses and shrubs, so standing upright was providing them with better view. Once the environment changed, and the tropical rainforest was turned into savanna, the hominid ancestors had to adapt in order to survive. Being helpless against the large predators, they needed something in order to be able to detect them from bigger distance so that they can avoid them. The solution seemed to be to be able to see above the tall grasses and shrubs, which meant that they started to use their legs more and more in order to stand up taller. This gradually led to better development of legs for upright standing and walking, also causing changes in the structure of the body, providing the hominids with an adaptation that enabled them to survive in the very dangerous environment.

In the Gizmo, what light intensity and CO2 level do you think will maximize the rate of photosynthesis?Experiment: Use the Gizmo
adoni [48]

Solution :

In Gizmo experiment, when both the intensity of light and carbon dioxide level is high, the rate of photosynthesis will maximize.

A). If the temperature is too hot or cold, it becomes difficult to find the ideal intensity of light because if the temperature is hot, the light intensity will be too high and thus the chlorophyll will get damaged. While if it too low, then it will be difficult for the proper functioning of the cells. And hence the photosynthesis will not take place.

B). It will be considered as a limiting factor if the light intensity is low. With light intensity being low, it will be difficult for the plant for survival and ideal carbon dioxide level will have no role. This amount of carbon dioxide does not help the plant to survive as the light intensity is now a rate limiting factor.

How are the graphs of a body chemical controlled by negative feedback and a body chemical controlled by positive feedback simila
Anettt [7]

Answer:

brainliest plzzzzz

Explanation:

There is a proper mechanism of controlling the levels of various kinds of hormones and chemicals in our body called as positive feedback and negative feedback.

In a very simple language you can understand it as whenever there is a release of a particular hormone or chemical inside the body in very huge amount then the negative feedback of the body is activated the production of that particular hormone or chemical is stopped and vice -versa for negative feedback.

Explanation:positive feedback and negative both the feedback mechanism are achieved to maintain the proper homeostasis.

Example: release of clotting factor after blood loss is a positive feedback and a hormone is released and then suddenly there is a increase in hormone b, then the amount of hormone a will decrease this is a negative feedback.
