´A year has gone as the tortoise goes, heavy and slow´. is this a simile or a Metaphor

Answers

Answer:

It is a Metaphor

Explanation:

Read the paragraph from the article.

When Bridges was in kindergarten, she was one of many African-American students chosen to take a test. The test would determine whether or not she could attend a white school. It is said that the test would be very difficult so that students would have a hard time passing. That way, New Orleans schools might be able to stay segregated, or separated by race, for a while longer. Bridges lived a mere five blocks from an all-white school, but attended kindergarten several miles away, at an all-black segregated school.



Which inference is BEST supported by this paragraph?

A.The test was intended to determine a student's ability to thrive and succeed in a more challenging environment.

B.The test was designed to prevent black children from attending white schools while appearing objective.

Answers

The answer should be B. because they’re making the test difficult to prevent students from entering their white school, most likely out of racism. They use the test’s difficulty to make it seem like they appear objective, or not racist. That’s my take on the answer. Hope it helps!

One day, as he was inching along, moving all one hundred legs as fast as he possibly could, a snake slithered past him. “Sss,” said the snake, “what a ssslowpoke.” “Hello to you, too,” replied the centipede, keeping his eyes to the ground. “I am fasster than you, and I have no legss at all. Ha, ha!” With that, the snake raced off, leaving the poor centipede in tears. The snake was so busy laughing and speeding along that he did not notice the boy carrying a container. “Cool! A garter snake! I wanted to find a centipede, but a snake will make a much better exhibit at the science fair!” The centipede smiled and did a little hundred-legged jig. “Sometimes slower is better,” he thought.

In the space below, copy and paste a passage from “The Open Boat” that expresses a principle of naturalism explicitly rather than implicitly.

Answers

Answer:

´´The January water was icy, and he reflected immediately that it was colder than he hadexpected to find it off the coast of Florida. This appeared to his dazed mind as a fact important enough to be noted at the time. The coldness of the water was sad; it was tragic. This fact was somehow so mixed and confused with his opinion of his own situation that it seemed almost a proper reason for tears. The water was cold.”

Explanation:

Answer:

Here's a passage from "The Open Boat" by Stephen Crane that explicitly expresses a principle of naturalism:

"If I am going to be drowned--if I am going to be drowned--if I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees?"

EXPLANATION

This passage reflects the principle of naturalism by emphasizing the indifferent and uncontrollable forces of nature. The speaker, in a moment of despair and resignation, questions why he was brought so close to safety and the sight of land if he is ultimately destined to drown. It highlights the belief that nature is indifferent to human desires and fate, and that human beings are subject to the forces of the natural world beyond their control.
