How are the ideas in the following two sentences tied together? The best time I had all summer was the night of Sherry's party. The worst was the next day. A. Word pointers B. Sentences closely connected in meaning C. A connective D. No connection

Answers

Ideas within a sentence, and sentences as well, can be connected in a text through several means. One of them is punctuation and the other, the use of linking words, like but, for, and, of, etc. Yet a third way is through the use of connecting words, sometimes in the ending clause that help to give meaning to two sentences that would initially seem unconnected. In this case, the first sentence talks about the best time of a person´s life, the night of Sherry´s party. This word of night, establishes the time at which the event took place. The second sentence, which has no noun, no pronouns, just a descriptor like worst, it would seem like the sentences have absolutely no connection. Except that the second sentence ends with the words, next day, which again not only establishes connection through time, but also chronologically organizes the two ideas. The first idea being the best time during a night, the next idea being the worst time the following day. This is why the correct answer is A.

"My vegetable love should grow/Vaster than empires and more slow" is an example ofA) paradox
B) hyperbole
C) metaphor
D).simile

Having a hard time, I'm tempted to say A) Paradox, what do you guys think?

Answers

I would say the correct answer is B. hyperbole.


Hyperbole is a figure of speech that authors use when they want to exaggerate things. So this 'vegetable love' cannot possibly grow larger than empires - the poem just wants to demonstrate the power and intensity of this love by using the figure of hyperbole. A paradox would include two completely opposite things, and vast and slow are not opposites.

Base on the question where as asking to choose among the following choices that states the correct figurative speech that could support the said phrase, and base on my research, the answer would be letter D. Simile. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarification
