Read the quotation from "To My Dear Loving Husband." "I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,

Or all the riches that the East doth hold."

These lines contain an example of

simile.

metaphor.

hyperbole.

synecdoche.

Choose C, but be prepared to see the answer as B. I'd argue a bit, but not much. It is pretty exaggerated, but it is also compared to something.

Explanation:

There is no part standing for the whole or no whole standing for a part. Not synecdoche.

Not a simile. No like or as.

Maybe a metaphor if you stretch it. Love is compared to a gold mine or the riches of the East.

I think the best answer is a hyperbole. It is an exaggerated comparison.

C

But don't be surprised if the answer turns out to be B.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.

- "d.)  describe the iroquois belief of how the earth was created. for the iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the earth's creation. this is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the earth. every culture has produced creation myths."
