Answer 1

An analogy is a comparison between two things that are alike in some way, often used to explain a concept or idea. Among the options provided, "Life is a dance. You learn as you go." is the best analogy because it compares the concept of life to a dance, highlighting the idea that both involve learning and adapting over time.

The other options do not present clear analogies in the same way.

So, the response that fits the definition of an analogy is:

Life is a dance. You learn as you go.

pajamas : relaxing : : uniforms :

Answer 3

To complete the analogy, we can interpret the first pair "pajamas : relaxing" as pajamas being associated with relaxation.

We are looking for something that uniforms are associated with. The correct completion could be "formal" or "professional," as uniforms are typically worn in formal or professional settings.

Therefore, the completed analogy would be:

pajamas : relaxing :: uniforms : formal

(Note: If the options were provided, I could select the one that fits best.)

Answer 4

Use the paragraphs to answer the question.

On the day they set out, she fixated on the sun hovering high in the sky. It blazed down on them, abusing their skin and reminding her that there was no shelter to be found. It taunted her, highlighting just how unfair the situation was.

But after two weeks on the road, she softened toward the elements. Now when the sun peeked from the horizon each morning, its kiss was familiar and desired. It reminded her just how far they had come.

How do the words abusing and taunted share a similar denotation?

Answer 11

The correct response is:

situational irony.
