Decide whether the following is a simile, metaphor, or neither.White as a white cow's milk
a. simile
b. metaphor
c. neither

Answers

This is a Simile.

There is no hidden meaning for it to be a metaphor, and it uses the form as something or like something, which makes it a simile.

The correct answer is A. Simile

Explanation:

The simile and metaphor are both figures of speech mainly used to make a comparison or create a relation between two elements or concepts, because of this, similes and metaphors are widely used in literary works and especially in poetry to create complex concepts or identify the similarities between two ideas. But despite simile and metaphor are similar, there is a difference between both, in the case of simile the relationship or similarity is established by using words such as "like", "as", "so" or any other that directly shows the relationship between the two elements or concepts being compared, on the opposite in metaphor these words are omitted. Considering this, in the case of the sentence "White as a white cow's milk" the figure of speech in this sentence is a simile considering two concepts (the white color and the cow's milk color) are being compared and the word "as" that establishes the relationship between both is used.

The Nile: A Source of SustenanceSustenance played a crucial role in the founding of Egyptian civilization. The Nile was an unending source of sustenance. The Nile made the land surrounding it extremely fertile when it flooded or was inundated annually. The Egyptians were able to cultivate wheat and crops around the Nile, providing food for the general population. Also, the Nile’s water attracted game, such as water buffalo, and, after the Persians introduced them in the 7th century B.C., camels. These animals could be killed for meat, or could be captured, tamed, and used for ploughing—or in the camels' case, traveling. Water was vital to both people and livestock. The Nile was also a convenient and efficient way of transportation for people and goods.

Egypt’s stability was one of the best structured in history. In fact, it might easily have surpassed many modern societies....



Which question would be best to ask before reading the rest of the passage?



How did the Nile directly affect the stability of Egypt?



How might Egypt’s stability have surpassed many modern societies?



Why was the Nile an unending source of substance?



How did the Nile get its name?

Answers

Why is Nile a source of sustenance?

Nile has a direct effect on the economy of Egypt as it enriches the lives of people which makes their society work.

Egypt's stability surpasses modern societies since its only source is Nile but it has given them a lot unlike modern societies which seek for several resources just to make the economy boom.

It's unending in the sense that it's the longest river, but it's an unending source because of its fertility.

Nile means "river valley" which is also the meaning of the Latin word "nilus". Egyptians call Nile, Ar which means "black" because its sedimentary gives a black hue sometimes.

in which of the following examples does the author use an allusion? The aroma of grandma's chicken soup filled the room with warmth. The stars blinked at me from above. I'm as hungry as a horse. That girl is so strong, I think she might be from the planet Krypton.

Answers

Answer:

Your answer would be that "that girl is so strong, I think she might be from the planet Krypton" is the example in which the author uses an allusion.

Explanation:

Allusion is a literary device by which an author makes a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, idea. It does not describe the refence in detail because the author expects the reader to have the necessary background information ir order to spot the allusion and grasp its importance in the text.

In the paragraph above, "planet Kryton" is a reference to a fictional planet appearing in American comic books by Dc comics. The planet is the native world of Superman and is named after the element Krypton. As Superman home planet, people given birth there are expected to be as strong as said fictional character. That's why the author compares the girl's strength to someone from Krypton.

Read this passage from Alan Weisman's "The City Without Us":He props his running shoe against the whitish bark of a Chinese Amur cork tree, growing among the last of the hemlocks.

What matters is that soil is protected, that water gets cleaned, that trees filter the air, that a canopy regenerates new seedlings to keep nutrients from draining away into the Bronx River."

Now read this passage from Jared Diamond's "The Ends of the World as We Know Them":

Both the shoguns and the Japanese peasants took a long-term view: the former expected to pass on their power to their children, and the latter expected to pass on their land. . . . Today, despite having the highest human population density of any large developed country, Japan is more than 70 percent forested.
