The correct answer is C. Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking.
Explanation:
Simile is a common figure of speech, which allows authors to explain an idea by using comparison. This occurs if the speaker compares two objects, people, ideas, etc. by using words such as "like" or "as". In this context, the one that is an example of a simile in The House on Mango Street is "Esperanza likens her sister's laughter to the sound of a pile of dishes breaking" because if Esperanza says her sister's laughter is like/as the sound of a pile of dishes breaking, the author is using comparison to better explain an idea, which is the sound of a laugh. Moreover, the word likens suggest an explicit word for comparison was used.

Which excerpt represents Armstrong’s purpose in writing this passage? “ . . .you’d like to hear about how Lance Armstrong became a Great American . . . .” “When I was 25 I got testicular cancer and nearly died.” “I’m not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth.” “Death is not exactly cocktail-party conversation, I know . . . .”
The passage of Armstrong is missing, here is the passage:
When I was 25 I got testicular cancer and nearly died. I was given less than a 40 percent chance of surviving, and frankly, some of my doctors were just being kind when they gave me those odds. Death is not exactly cocktail party conversation, I know, and neither is cancer, or brain surgery, or matters below the waist. But I'm not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth. I'm sure you'd like to hear about how Lance Armstrong became a Great American and an Inspiration To Us All, how he won the Tour de France, the 2,290-mile road race that's considered the single most grueling sporting event on the face of the earth. You want to hear about faith and mystery, and my miraculous comeback, and how I joined towering figures like Greg LeMond and Miguel Indurain in the record book. You want to hear about my lyrical climb through the Alps and my heroic conquering of the Pyrenees, and how it felt. But the Tour was the least of the story.
The correct answer to this question is C. “I’m not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth.”
Explanation:
In texts, the purpose is defined as the main reason for writing a text, which can include to inform, persuade, explain, etc. In the case of the passage presented, the purpose of Lance Armstrong is to explain his truth, this is directly expressed in the section "But I'm not here to make polite conversation. I want to tell the truth".
Moreover, this purpose is supported through other details that include the fact Armstrong had cancer and his perspective that his triumph in the Tour of France was not the only important part of his story because this shows Armstrong want to tell all the truth about himself and his story rather than being polite and only tell those parts the audience wants to hear.

My loving people,
We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; [1] to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. [2] I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, [3] I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies [4] of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.

PLS HELP ME OUT WITH THIS ANSWER...... Mention the three phases of the author’s relationship with his grandmother before he left the country to study abroad?
The three phases of the author’s relationship with his grandmother before he left the country to study abroad are as follows:
First Phase: The period of his early childhood where he used to live with her in the village. His grandmother used to wake him up and get him ready for school. They both would walk to school together and come back home together. They had a good friendship with each other.
Second Phase: In this phase, the author and his grandmother shifted to the city as the author’s parents settled well in the city. Although they shared the same room, this was the turning point of their friendship. Now, they saw less of each other. The author started going to an English medium school, where unlike the village the grandmother could not accompany. Also, his studies now included subjects that the grandmother could not help him with. Thus, they had less time to spend with eachother.
Third Phase: When the author went to the university, he was given a room of his own. This made their friendship bond weaker as the common link between them ‘the same room’ snapped. She became quieter and private and kept spinning the wheel all day long. She would feed the sparrows once a day and this was the only thing that made her happy now.

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall moved down like night on land and sea. The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.-The Odyssey,HomerWhich stage of the hero’s journey is represented in this passage?- the call to adventure- the return home- the road of trials- the transformation the road of trials

What is poem ?Poetry (derived from the Greek poiesis, also known as verse, is a type of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic language qualities such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre to evoke meanings in addition to, or instead of, a prosaic ostensible meaning. A poem is a literary creation composed by a poet that follows this rule.
Poetry has a vast and varied history, evolving in different ways across the world. It may be traced back to ancient periods in Africa with hunting poetry and panegyric and elegiac court poetry of the empires of the Nile, Niger, and Volta River basins. Some of the earliest written poetry in Africa may be found in the Pyramid Texts, which were composed in the 25th century BCE.
Hence option C is correct.

STRUGGLES OF COMMONERS IN THE AFTERMATH OF CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Dear Mr. Andrew,
I write you with a heavy heart to try and highlight the struggles we the commoners are facing economically.
Because of this corona virus, businesses closed down, workers got retrenched, palliatives, while good, have barely scratched the surface for many families and people are in dire financial straits.
I am part of the very few commoners that have some money stashed away that has been keeping me going, even though that has been running dry recently, but like the majority of people without any savings, this has literally been hell on earth for them.
I know à family down the street that have been selling valuable family antiques and other properties to keep afloat. Another family I know are on the streets, begging and relying on an already impoverished community to survive.
I write to you so you can know the true nature of things down at Ibrox and how it has not been accurately reported. We need government aid urgently.
Thank you for your time.
You're faithfully,

Explain the structure and language of the two love poems and how the lyrical language allowed the poet to descri
their sexuality in a way that was never discussed in their culture.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Explain the structure and language of the two love poems "To my dear and loving husband" and "A letter to her husband" by Anne Bradstreet and how the lyrical language allowed the poet to describe their sexuality in a way that was never discussed in their culture.
Answer:
The poems have structure and language capable of showing the reader the intimacy between husband and wife, in addition, the lyrical language manages to convey the information that husband and exposed are one in all senses. This was considered highly inappropriate at the time when both poems were written.
Explanation:
The poems "To my dear and loving husband" and "A letter to her husband" by Anne Bradstree were written between 1641-1643, at that time the conjugal relationship did not show intimacy, as this society considered it highly inappropriate and immoral. However, the portraits of Anne Bradstree show not only a high intimacy between her and her husband, but also expressed the unity that existed between them and the satisfaction that one provoked to the other in Codite, social and even sexual life.
As this type of subject was considered inappropriate, the literary production of the time had never addressed it, making Anne Bradstree a pioneer.

This question is missing the options. I've found the compete question online. It is the following:
Read the excerpt from The Canterbury Tales.
"Gentlemen” said he, "I take pains to preach In churches with a lofty, resonant voice, Regular as a bell I ring it out, For everything I say I have by heart: My text’s the same one as it always was . . .”
Which statement best describes how the Pardoner is characterized in this passage?
A. He is an intellectual who is inspired by academics.
B. He is a confident, suave performer.
C. He is a heartless, vindictive leader.
D. He is a caring counselor who is devoted to service.
Answer:
The statement which best describes how the Pardoner is characterized in this passage is:
B. He is a confident, suave performer.
Explanation:
In this passage, the Pardoner does not come off as an intellectual. He does not mention or seem to be inspired by academics. He also does not sound vindictive, angry, or heartless in any manner. However, he does not sound caring either. His words ooze confidence. He speaks of himself and the way he preaches with the highest regard. It's as if he is praising and admiring himself: his effort, his memory, his oratory. We can safely choose letter B as the best option, thus: He is a confident, suave performer.
Answer:
( B ) He is a confident, suave performer.
