The answer is: an extended comparison that uses like or as.

An epic simile or Homeric simile is a lengthy (several lines long) comparison between one familiar thing and another less well-known thing or occurrence. It usually makes use of the words “like” or “as” to establish the comparison. The object of the epic simile is to make the reader comprehend the unfamiliar object of the comparison by means of the very simile. They usually appear at moments of turmoil or violence.

katovenus [111]

The narrator's description of the colonel during the reception leads the reader to conclude that:

D. the colonel inspires great fear among the townspeople.

The passage to which this question refers to can be found online. It belongs to the story "The Refusal," by Bohemian writer Franz Kafka (1883-1924).

The narrator of the story is a boy who describes how his town is controlled by an authoritarian government.

The colonel is also the town's tax-collector. Whenever the townspeople need anything, it is the colonel they address. However, as the narrator describes, the reception by the colonel is quite a sight to see.

The people go see the colonel, who <u>stands upright, barely moving, breathing deeply, and saying nothing</u>. The one person chosen to speak on behalf of the others is so intimidated by the colonel that he seems about to faint.

Thus, we can clearly see that the colonel inspires fear among the townspeople. Although they do talk to him, it is with great effort and anxiety. Once it is all over with, the people sigh in relief and leave.

Answer:

Comma Splice

Explanation:

Comma splice can also be known as comma fault.

COMMAN SPLICE can be defined as the use of a comma to join two clauses that are independent which is why comma splice is a common grammatical error in English because two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma in order to make one sentence which is why to avoid comma splices, we need to be able to identify an independent clause.

Therefore comma splice is sometimes used in literary writing in order to help convey a particular mood of informality.

In order word COMMAN SPLICE can be seen as the way in which comma is use to join two complete sentences without placing an appropriate joining word between them.

Which of the following sentences has correct subject-verb agreement?
marshall27 [118]

Answer: d. When he first enters the banquet hall, Macbeth appears cheerful.

Explanation: Subject-verb agreement means that the verb and the subject must agree in number, this means that if the subject is singular the verb needs to be also singular, and the same applies when the subject is plural. We must be careful with the final "s" in the verbs conjugated in the third person of singular (he, she, it). In the given sentences the option "a" is incorrect because the subject is "Lady Macbeth" (she) so the verb should be "walks", in the option "b" the correct it should say "Banquo, not Fleance, is killed" because the subject is singular (Banquo), the option "c" should be, "Fleance, without Banquo, escapes" (because the subject is Fleance), and the correct answer is "d" because it says "he first enters" and "Macbeth appears".
