Create a sentence about a clock for each type of figurative language

Answers

The sentences about a clock for each type of figurative language are:

  • Simile: The clock goes as fast as a mouse.
  • Metaphor: That clock really is my enemy.
  • Personification: The clocking keeps running.
  • Onomatopoeia: Tick, tock, tick, tock...
  • Alliteration: The clock's clicking creates crazy compact catastrophes in my head!  

What are figurative languages?

Conversely, figurative language is more intricate. This departs from the usual meaning, and via the use of rhetorical techniques like metaphors, analogies, or similes.

It heightens or enriches the meaning of the term by linking, comparing, or equating it with meanings that are unrelated to its original meaning.  Emotion can in fact play a significant role in figurative language since this tends to be a hermeneutic exercise with a subjective component.

Therefore, the sentences are:

  • Simile: The clock goes as fast as a mouse.
  • Metaphor: That clock really is my enemy.
  • Personification: The clocking keeps running.
  • Onomatopoeia: Tick, tock, tick, tock...
  • Alliteration: The clock's clicking creates crazy compact catastrophes in my head!

Write 10 Verbs, Noun, And adjectives in the passage.

Answers

First, you need to know how to identify verbs, nouns, and adjectives.

Verbs are action words. If someone is doing something, whatever they're doing is an action. Most verbs end in "ed" or "ing."

Nouns are people, places, things, or ideas, and can be singular or plural.

Adjectives describe things, like the purple dinosaur, the lively children, or the French woman (purple, lively, and French are adjectives, because they describe the dinosaur, children, and woman, respectively). If you're unsure as to whether it's an adjective or not, ask yourself if it gives you more details. For example, if a sentence says "three people," then "three" is the adjective, because it gives you more details than just saying "people."

Verbs:
1. estimate
2. lived
3. encountered
4. captured
5. are
6. kill
7. believe
8. shared
9. thought
10. is

Nouns:
1. rhinoceros
2. species
3. scientists
4. world
5. island
6. Borneo
7. Asia
8. poachers
9. powder
10. diseases

Adjectives:
1. Sumatran
2. most endangered
3. southern
4. female
5. smallest
6. serious
7. mistakenly
8. three
9. hidden
10. last
A verb is a doing word. 10 examples are: 
Estimate, lived, encountered, captured, face, kill, ground, believe, cure and snapped. 

A noun is an animal, place, person, object etc. 10 examples are: 
Sumatran Rhinoceros, scientists, Borneo, Asia, poachers, horns, powder, photos, conservationists and footprints.

Which one is bigger a megalodon shark or a blue whale

Answers

Megalodon is the largest carnivorous fish known to have existed, and quite possibly the largest shark to have ever lived. It is believed that the average size of the megalodon was between 12 metres (39 ft) and 18 metres (59 ft). But the size of a modern female blue whale is over 30 mtrs (115 feet) which makes so far as we know the largest animal that has ever existed. ( Until we find fossils of something bigger). So the Megalodon was probably bigger than some smaller whales but not the Blue whale. Also since sharks don't have a bony skeleton this size is an estimation based on the assumption that the size to tooth ratio is the same of present large sharks but this could be in error. Also  Despite popular beliefs and myths, the Megaladon might have never existed. I think it did exist though, but either way.. The blue whale shark is the largest animal to have ever existed (as of right now of course :p) and is still extant. The Megaladon is thought to be the largest of most sharks, bigger than the Great White shark. Unfortunately, it's extinct and we still don't have much knowledge on its certain qualities, features, etc, etc 
The blue whale is by far larger than the megalodon shark.
