Answer and explanation:
The type of figurative language in the sentence "He kept his eyes on the rocky peaks that jutted into the sky like jagged shark's teeth" is a simile. A simile is a figure of speech used to make a comparison - state a similarity - between two different things. It needs help, however, to make such comparison by using words such as "as" or "like". In that sense, it differs from the metaphor, which makes a comparison without using such words.
In the sentence we are studying here, the speaker's intention is probably to help readers visualize the rocky peaks. Comparing them to shark's teeth offers a bunch of qualities that would otherwise have to be listed: sharp, serrated, dangerous etc. By using the simile, thus, the author is able to describe the peaks without being prolix. He takes advantage of readers' imagination and knowledge. The sentence basically means, then, that the rocky peaks were tall, sharp, and dangerous.
A. The new students
B. Someday I
C. Whoever gets there on time
D. After school, they
Answer:
The correct answer is option C) Whoever gets there on time
Explanation:
The only subordinate clause in the options provided is C.
The dependent clause in this case is the one that has no meaning on its own since it needs another part to complete its meaning. It also has a verb in it as in "gets" and is introduced by the subordinating conjunction "whoever".
The rest of the options are not depedent clauses, for example option A) "the new students" could be the subject of the main sentence but no a subordinate clause.
