In the poem "To an Athlete Dying Young" by A. E. Housman, the author uses metaphors in lines 11-12 to describe the athlete's short-lived and glorious life. The laurel flower represents glory and victory, and have a shorter lifespan than roses. This metaphor implies that fame and honor does not last long.

Answer:

This excerpt from 'To an Athlete Dying Young' exemplifies an elegy written by A.E. Housman, to an athlete who is dying, and contains an obsessive usage of metaphors'shady night'(symbolizes death), 'stiller town'(a metaphor for graveyard), etc. to mourn his death. The lines 11 displays the "laurel" as "glory and fame" and implies that as quick as it grows, withers away even more promptly. Line 12 represents the metaphor of "rose" which he employs to laurel to a rose to symbolize that all the honor or fame fades away more quickly than a rose "withers quicker than the rose". However, the entire poem is an apostrophe lamenting the death of the athlete and symbolizes his absence.

Answer:

"Provisional drivers could each save up to £500 on their car insurance by undertaking advanced driving lessons," the government has confirmed.

"We want people to go on improving their driving skills throughout their driving careers," said David Ashworth, a junior minister at the Department for Transport. "This is about creating the right sort of education and incentivising people to do it."

Explanation:

You haven't provided the complete question, but I found a similar one online. I assume that your task is to correct punctuation, especially quotation marks.

Quotation marks are used in direct speech - when you want to relay someone's words in the exact way they were spoken. Quoted words will be framed by quotation marks. In this case, the reporting clause (the part that doesn't contain quoted words) will be separated from quoted words by a comma. Commas and periods are always included inside the quotation marks, as you can see in the Answer section.

Lee forgets to write down the details regarding
tatiyna

Answer: Wild Goose Chase

Explanation:

Plagiarism is a big issue in the academic and journalistic world ( indeed any subject that has to do with writing) and it is worthy of note that it does not mean simply copying a person's work to pass as your own. It can also mean failing to give proper credit where it is due.

This is the form of plagiarism that the Wild Goose Chase plagiarism is. It involves using the works of an author but instead of correctly citing them so due credit is given, the writer instead uses other sources either real or made up which is what Lee did in her blog post.

It is called a Wild Goose Chase because somebody aiming to verifying the information will not find the information where they were supposed to meaning that the writer had sent them on a wild goose chase.
