Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The correct answer is A. metaphor. A metaphor is a rhetorical figure of speech in which two things are compared without using words such as like or as. So here, Emily is being compared to 'a shell burned out by one fierce moment of fire' - she's not an actual shell, but rather compared to one through the use of a metaphor.

Legendary jazz drummer Joe Morello was vision impaired however, he had a talent for hearing and feeling rhythm.What is wrong with the sentence?


A. A semicolon should precede the conjunctive adverb.
B. A semicolon should precede the coordinate conjunction.
C. A comma should precede the coordinate conjunction.
D. A comma should precede the conjunctive adverb.

Answers

The answer to your question would be that the problem with the sentence above is the following one: A semicolon should precede the conjunctive adverb. That is, the correct option would be A.

You should use a semicolon when you have a conjunctive adverb linking two independent clauses. In this case, the conjunctive adverb linking the two clauses is however. Consequently, the sentence would be as follows: Legendary jazz drummer Joe Morello was vision impaired; however, he had a talent for hearing and feeling rhythm.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: B. A semicolon should precede the coordinate conjunction. Legendary jazz drummer Joe Morello was vision impaired; however, he had a talent for hearing and feeling rhythm.

Choose the word that best fills in blank ?he went into a long __ about the outcome of the election after it was mentioned on the news

a assert
b quibble
c rant
d fastidious

Answers

C. rant
He went into a long rant about the outcome of the election after it was mentioned on the news.

assert and fastidious are not nouns, which is what the sentence is asking for "a thing", so they are not the correct answers. As well they only mention one person in the sentence and quibble is an argument, which needs more than one person. Therefore it is not likely to be the correct answer. A rant is a long tirade by one person, it fits the best within the sentence.
