"he stood like a rock as they hurled insults at him," Is an example of which poetic device?
Answer:
I believe the sentence is an example of simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a literary device which compares two different things. The purpose is to attribute the qualities of one to the other. In that sense, simile and metaphor are the same thing. What distinguishes them is that a simile will use the words "as" or "like" to establish the comparison, while the metaphor will not. For example, "your eyes are like stars" is a simile. On the other hand, "your eyes are stars" is a metaphor.
Thus, we can easily find the simile in the sentence we are analyzing here when the author says "he stood like a rock." He is comparing a person to a rock, probably with the purpose of saying that person stood there, unmoving - the same way a rock does not move.
About how many "empty nest" fathers express unhappiness as a result of
their children's departure from home?
Hello. You did not say if this question is referring to any text. This makes it impossible for me to provide you with a specific answer. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
The expression "empty nest" is used to describe the feeling of discomfort and sadness that some parents feel when their children leave home. Several researches states that this sensation is more common in mothers than in fathers, with only about 25% of fathers feeling sad when their children leave. This percentage is much higher in relation to mothers, reaching around 80%.

Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.
[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.
[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?
[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.
[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …
[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.
Which two sentences provide evidence that what is on television is a "vast wasteland"?
"You will see a procession of game shows … blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder … private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons." (paragraph 2)
"There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence." (paragraph 5)
"Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …" (paragraph 5)
What argument does Minow make in his speech?
Parents should demand better programs for their children to watch in the evenings.
The nation's children depend on television to entertain and educate them.

What struggles did Misha face while living in America?
One of the biggest struggles Misha faced was the constant back and forth to the nearest branch of a bank in home country. She was ready with the necessary collateral and was in a hurry to sort out an education loan to confirm her spot at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Business and secure her F-1 study visa for the United States.
Read this excerpt from The Great Fire. At the same moment that Anderson's hose stopped, another steamer malfunctioned and its water also gave out. A well-aimed rap of a hammer got the engine working again, but then, at about 10:30, an old section of hose burst and the flow of water stopped again. Two valuable links in the chain of defense were gone, and there was nothing to stop the fire in these locations. Williams rushed to get the water going and to reposition his engines, but it was too late. The wind had pushed the fire past his circle, a wind that was blowing directly toward the heart of the city. How does the structure of this excerpt contribute to the central idea that the firefighters did not have the proper equipment to fight the fire
Answer:
The structure of the text allows the reader to perceive a range of equipment that is not working properly and therefore prevent the good work of the firefighters.
Explanation:
Textual structure refers to the way the text is organized and how the information is presented to the reader. There are many types of textual structure, among which, we can mention the sequential structure, which is the one that presents a sequence of elements that have been part of a narrative. In the case of the text above, we can see that the author decided to use this type of structure, since we can read a sequence of equipment, used by firefighters, which are malfunctioning. In addition, we can see that this malfunction promotes a series of negative events that prohibit firefighters from doing a good job. These effects are also presented sequentially.
Answer:
D. by explaining the effects of the steamer malfunctioning and the hose bursting

Within the books; Fahrenheit 451 and Beowulf, what morals/themes can a person reading both books learn?
Answer:
By reading both books, the reader can learn that ignorance leads to cowardice and it is better to die young than to become a coward without knowledge.
Explanation:
"Fahrenheit 451" tells the story of a society where books are burned and forbidden to be read. This is done as a way of preventing society from having access to information and becoming unknowing and ignorant. This lack of knowledge makes people cowardly, weak, fearful and inefficient, which is very harmful to the human being as a whole.
"Beowulf," in turn, tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who, being a strong and courageous man, risks his own life to face the threats that may arise.
By reading the two books, we can draw very valuable moral lessons, we can see that cowardice limits us, but courage strengthens us. Therefore, we can understand that it is better not to exist, than to live a life of cowardice that the lack of information causes.

Everyone has a phone. No big deal.”

I know how to study,
and it will help me be responsible.”
“You might lose it.
What about the expense?
What about your hearing, your neck, your eyes?”

and all her hopes and dreams around his neck.

stomping out—his pain, his heart, his baby.

“Kids need their freedom, friends.
What about calling in emergencies?”
“And touching base,

talking, texting, tuning out—priceless waste?”

Do extra chores, walk the plank. Please, Dad, please?”

Answer:
I explain it
Explanation:
Nick Carraway, the story's narrator, has a singular place within The Great Gatsby. First, he is both narrator and participant. Part of Fitzgerald's skill in The Great Gatsby shines through the way he cleverly makes Nick a focal point of the action, while simultaneously allowing him to remain sufficiently in the background. In addition, Nick has the distinct honor of being the only character who changes substantially from the story's beginning to its end. Nick, although he initially seems outside the action, slowly moves to the forefront, becoming an important vehicle for the novel's messages.

Some lists already have commas to join dependent clauses or phrases. In this case, a semicolon can be used to separate the elements in a complex sentence.
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence, but a dependent clause even though it has a subject and a verb cannot stand alone.

Answer:
What a wretched life a poor woman leads in our country- said Sahana. She cannot work independently without taking the help of others. She depends on the pity of the people of society.
Explanation:
We have to use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence and with proper nouns, like Sasha. Also, we have to use periods to make sentences shorter and with meaning. This helps us to connect ideas in a clear way. We use the dash (-) to add information, in this case, to clarify who said something.
