Gloria is hard to get to know. Whenever she is put in a situation that might reveal her true personality, she withdraws into a shell, where she feels safe and hidden.Which figure of speech does the author use in the passage?

A. epic simile

B. implied metaphor

C. imagery

D. personification

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Hey there!

Your answer would be B, implied metaphor.

Here, we see four answer choices. An epic simile is a simile in the same form except many lines in length. An implied metaphor is not one that is explicitly stated, but is there. Imagery is using word choice to describe something which forms an image in the reader's head. Personification is using human actions to describe something which is not human.

We can tell this is an implied metaphor by this: "Whenever she is put in a situation that might reveal her true personality, she withdraws into a shell, where she feels safe and hidden." The most important part here is "she withdraws into a shell". There is no actual shell, of course, however, this is just making a comparison with her drawing into herself. The comparison is not explicitly stated, but it is there.

Hope this helps!

Which statement is an effective claim?I think it is clear to anyone that television is a bad influence on teenagers.
Something should be done when it comes to the television habits of teenagers.
Television watching should be limited because it has negative influences on teens.
There are three major reasons why teen television viewing should be limited.

Answers

Answer:

Television watching should be limited because it has negative influences on teens.

Explanation:

By definition, a Claim is "state or assert that something is the case, typically without providing evidence or proof." Still, a claim is an argument and has to sound convincing and open space for more debate on the matter.

The first option sounds more like an opinion, so does the second option. The last one doesn't really open much for a debate since it has 3 statements to be made already.

The third option is correct because it is a strong statement with an opinion behind it that opens room for explanations and debates.

Below are works cited entries for a book in print by one author. Select the one that is completely correct.Entry A:

Entry D:

Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York, Simon and Schuster. 1977. Print

Answers

The correct answer is Entry A. Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print.

Explanation:

In writing, it is common to use ideas or words of other authors to support own ideas; however, ideas taken from other sources and authors cannot be used without acknowledging authorship. This is usually included by adding some information such as the author's last name and the number page during in-text citation and including a works cited page at the end of the document with  entries that provide further information about each of the sources used during the paper; however, the type of information included is not the same in all cases and mainly depends on the type of source.

In the case of printed book by one author the MLA manual which is the manual commonly used to write and publish academic document establishes it is necessary to include the name of the author (last name first), the name of the book, the city of publication, the publisher, the year of publication and the word print. Besides this, other specific guidelines in terms of punctuation should be followed this includes separating the last name from the first name of the author using a comma, then adding a period before writing the name of the book then using period again to introduce the city of publication, using colon to introduce the publisher, followed by a comma to introduce the year and finally a period to introduce the word "Print". Considering this, the entry that is completely correct is "Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print" as the information of the source has been included in the correct order and following the punctuation marks required.

Answer: The right answer is the A) Halpern, Howard M. Cutting Loose. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1977. Print.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can also be added that, according to the Chicago Manual of Style, which is widely used in publications in American English, a work cited entry for a book in print by one single author should start by indicating the author's last name, followed by a comma and his or her first name, which is in turn followed by a period. Titles of books are italicized, and not placed in quotation marks. As per the publishing information, it starts by indicating the name of the city or town where the book was published, followed by a colon and the name of the publishing company, which is in turn followed by a comma and the year of publication.
