Read the sentence and answer the question below:
the silence of the night screamed frightfully in my ears.
which of the following correctly describes this phrase?
silence that screams is a paradox.
silence of the night is a metaphor.
screamed frightfully is a hyperbole.
screamed in my ears is a simile.

Screamed Frightfully is a hyperbole.

Explanation:

In this excerpt "The silence of the night" has been personified and "screamed frightfully" is hyperbole that suggests the exaggeration employed by the author to enhance the intensity of the scream in the speaker's ears and to have an effective impact on the readers. Thus, only the third choice stands by its statement. The rest of the options go incorrect as there is no usage of paradox, metaphor or simile in the excerpt given. We are unable to witness either a self-contradictory statement or a comparison here. The literary devices that have been used here are personification and hyperbole only.

b)and

is the answer.

its because you eat a lot of food and that can lead to many heath problems like diabetes or becoming very over weight and fat etc.

jeez la wheeze! i just checked other people who had the same question as you and both had terrible answers.

i hope i could be a little bit of a though!

hmm, lets see here. okay! so, i don't know the passages exactly since i haven't taken that quiz before, but! i will try to the best i can.

if you need on what igbo means, ill give you a hand.

igbo means a member of a people of southeastern nigeria.

so, they're asking you, "what passage uses igbo words or phrases and in at least 100 words, identify the kinds of context clues the author uses to hint at the words' meaning."

so basically, don't stress or over look this.

look closely at the passages and see if you can spot any of those hints! it doesn't have to be all, remember, its a quiz! no right or wrong answers.

the teachers are always there to and if you are struggling on this topic they will notice it in your score on the quiz and you.
