The phrase, "Time is Money", is a metaphor. So A (: A metaphor is a direct comparison of one thing to another. Another example could be, "The kids at school are all brains." This doesn't mean that the kids at school are literally walking, talking, brains. It is a figure of speech to say that the kids at school are always thinking or the kids at school are smart.

Which one of the following sentences has an error in capitalization? A. My Father has decided to retire in the fall of next year. B. They say the Power River is a mile wide and an inch deep. C. That day, across the great river, we got our first view of the Washington Monument. D. We crossed the Snake River and miles of nothing much on our way to Abilene.

Answers

The sentence that has an error in capitalization is my Father has decided to retire in the fall of next year. The correct option is A.

What is capitalization?

Capitalization in English is a term in grammar. Capitalization is when the first letter is written in capital and the proper names and only one thing on earth are also written in capital.

In the sentence, Father is a common noun, because the father is a term for a person who has a son or daughter. So this will not be in the capital. In all other sentences, Power River is a proper noun, it should be written in capital. Like in all other sentences, Washington Mountain is only one, and it is present in the Northeastern United States.

Therefore, the correct option is A, My Father has decided to retire in the fall of next year.

Identify the piece of home fitness equipment that requires the most maintenance and discuss the key steps for maintenance

Answers

Responses will vary. A sample response follows: The treadmill has quite a few parts and requires the most maintenance. The maintenance steps include cleaning the deck/motor cover, testing the stop button, vacuuming, checking lubrication, testing the belt tension, and tightening all nuts and bolts. (This is what my online schooling told me)


The treadmill is a piece of home fitness equipment that has lots of required maintenance. The maintenance steps include cleaning the cover, testing out the stop and start button, vacuuming all areas, checking lubrication often, testing the belt tension, and tightening nuts and bolts.

How can the treadmill is a piece of home fitness equipment?

The treadmill. Clean the motor cover and exposed areas of the deck and check the operation of the stop button every week or two.

Once a month, vacuum inside the motor electronic compartment and underneath any treadmill that's on the carpet. (Keeping treadmills on rubber mats can help keep carpet fiber away from the machines.)

For treadmills with automatic wax lubrication systems, check and clean the wax nozzle each month. Do not use a cleaning solution to wipe the belt; this will impair the lubrication system. Every two to three months, check the belt tension and tracking and inspect the hardware (nuts and bolts), belt and deck for wear every three to six months.

Thus, this could be the answer.
