Answers

Answer 1
Answer: "He is going to take me home? He can drive? He can barely find his way out of the front door."

Technically both could be considered to have a tone of contempt. However, the first one is definitely a stronger choice, because the second has a valid reason for the rejection, while the first quote is more like a straight out insult.
Answer 2
Answer: He can barely find his way out of the front door'' expresses contempt.Barely is the same as hardly.If he can't find his way out of the front door ,how will he arrive home?

Since 'insomnia' means that you cannot sleep at night, the correct answer is 'at the banquet, every employee received a sweatshirt with the company's insomnia on it', because I assume the correct word should be 'insignia', or something along those lines.

Which figure of speech is the following line an example of?The wind screamed and howled all night long.


A) simile
B) personification
C) alliteration
D) onomatopoeia

Answers

Answer:

B) Personification

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that gives human attributes (like singing, pondering, screaming...) to non-animated object or to nonhuman beings such as an animal, an element of nature, an event, an emotion or any other object. The line provided uses this figure of speech because it gives "the wind", an element of nature, two human attributes: to scream and howl as if the wind has the consciousness and will to perform such actions as humans do.
B) personification.
screaming and howling are things that people do, not wind. Hence it is personfied.
