A metaphor is defined as a figure of speech where a word or phrase is applied to an object or an action to which is it not literally applicable. It compares the objects without using the word 'like' or 'as' (that would be a simile). So for this question, the answer would be D. The mighty oak is the king of the forest world. The other three answers are examples of similes.

The principal will say, ’rules have to be followed at any cost (right in indirect form)​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The same structure, in indirect or reported form, would be:

The principal will say that rules have to be followed at any cost.

Explanation:

<u>When reporting what someone said, we must change the verb tenses according to when the line was said. If there are any pronouns in the sentence, those may also need to be changed to match the speaker - for instance, if a man said something about himself, we should change "I" for "he". We also change time expressions, such as substituting "today" for "that day".</u>

<u>Not much changes in the sentence we are transforming here since the line inside the quotation marks does not present time expressions or pronouns. Another reason for that is the verb tense. Because it is "will say", which is a future, we do not have to change the verb tense inside the quotation marks.</u>

Just to make it clearer, imagine that the principal already said that: The principal said, "Rules have to be followed at any cost." Now the tense is in the past, "said". In this case, we should also change the tense inside the quotation marks. It would be: The principal said that rules had to be followed at any cost.

Which prewriting steps are part of research for an argumentative essay? Select three options. selecting and forming a claim abou
noname [10]

Answer:

Selecting and forming a claim about a specific topic.

Identifying evidence to include to support your reasons.

Investigating counterclaims that go against your claim.

Explanation:

An argumentative essay is one that argues for or against any given issue. This means that the paper must include or contain evidence for the arguments made, support the claims, and thus, making a persuasive presentation.

In writing this type of essay, the prewriting steps will include the selection of the claim or argument that will be the focus. Then comes the identifying of evidence, as support for the argument. Also, investigating any counterclaims that argue against the claims made is also part of the prewriting steps.

Thus, the correct answers are the first, second, and third options.
