WHY IS THIS A METAPHOR

Answers

Answer 1
A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object or action in a way that isn't literally true, but helps explain an idea or make a comparison. ... A metaphor states that one thing is another thing. It equates those two things not because they actually are the same, but for the sake of comparison or symbolism.

You were invited to a movie premier in which the President was the guest of honor.However,in the middle of the premier,a murder took place .
As an eye witness,give a scenic description of what happened and what you saw.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

When I reached the movie theater, I saw faces excited and curious about the film that was to be broadcast, but after a few minutes I could only hear a very loud, deafening crack! A shot!

People started running in a disorderly way and I could hear lots of screams and noise of people falling and running over each other. Chaos mingled with the movie's audio and everything got really scary, until the security exit opened and everyone started running out of the room, in complete chaos.

I couldn't see from where in the room the shot was released, but as I ran out of the room I tripped and fell and looking to the side I could see someone's body on the floor, in a pool of blood. I believe this person was shot. Terrified, I got up shakily and ran to the exit, where I awaited the arrival of the authorities.

When the person clearly states his opinion and provides specific examples - Most likely to persuade.  

The person is older than the reader - Somewhat likely to persuade.  

When the person shouts, uses lots of exclamation points, or accuses anyone who doesn't agree of being ignorant - Not likely to persuade.

Explanation:

The above are correct. I have been able to match the element of argument with the likelihood that it will persuade a reader.

When opinions are clearly stated and communicated and backed up with specific examples, it is most likely to persuade. The specific examples provided reinforces and solidifies the person's opinion. The older person can persuade if the younger reader knows of the person's expertise and experience.

Using shouting and accusation will not lead to any form of persuasion.

Which equation shows 2.4 as the constant of
proportionality?

Answers

Answer:

c) a = 2.4b

Explanation:

Option C is the correct answer.

Constant of proportionality refers to the ratio between two quantities which are proportional to each other.

In the given equation, the two quantities a and b are directly proportional to each other. When two quantities are directly proportional to each other, they increase and decrease at the same time.

So, a and b are directly proportional to each, therefore the relationship between them is:

a = 2.4b

where 2.4 is the constant of proportionality while a and b are the quantities.

What's the answer to the picture taken

Answers

The correct answer is D. Get as closer to the subject as possible.

Explanation

The text is about the composition of a photograph and the methods to make it suitable depending on the requirements and taste of the person taking the photos. According to the author, the objects or subject to be captured in the photo must also be taken into account, and from this, the distance between the photographer and the object is essential "farther you are, the more of the surroundings will be included in your photo". He later talks about the importance of the orientation and angle of the photo to improve the composition of the photo. According to the above, if a photographer only wants to capture the subject in a photo, he must take the photo from a very close distance. So the answer is D. Get as closer to the subject as possible.
