"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" below, identifying any figures of speech.
THE SPEECH: The pedagogue's mouth watered as he looked upon this sumptuous promise of luxurious winter fare. In his devouring mind's eye, he pictured to himself every roasting-pig running about with a pudding in his belly, and an apple in his mouth; the pigeons were snugly put to bed in a comfortable pie, and tucked in with a coverlet of crust; the geese were swimming in their own gravy; and the ducks pairing cosily in dishes, like snug married couples, with a decent competency of onion sauce. In the porkers he saw carved out the future sleek side of bacon, and juicy relishing ham; not a turkey but he beheld daintily trussed up, with its gizzard under its wing, and, peradventure, a necklace of savory sausages; and even bright chanticleer himself lay sprawling on his back, in a side dish, with uplifted claws, as if craving that quarter which his chivalrous spirit disdained to ask while living.
What do Irving's figures of speech suggest about Ichabod's imaginings?
A) Ichabod imagines that the farm animals would be happy to be eaten by him.
B) Ichabod imagines that Katrina is eager to cook delicious meals for him.
C) Ichabod imagines that the farm animals come spookily alive after cooking.
D) Ichabod imagines that he is the only one worthy to enjoy such a feast.
Answer:
The figures of speech suggest:
Ichabod imagines that the farm animals would be happy to be eaten by him. (letter B in your post, letter A above).
Explanation:
In Washington Irving's short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" the main character is Ichabod Crane, a schoolmaster who happens to be quite greedy and superstitious. The passage we are analyzing here concerns the moment Ichabod sees Baltus Van Tassel's farm, abundant with animals. Being the avaricious man he is, Ichabod begins to imagine how delightful it would be if he married Van Tassel's daughter, Katrina, not because he loves her, but because it would mean that farm and those animals would eventually be his.
In the passage, Irving uses figurative language to show how Ichabod imagines the animals would be happy to be eaten by him. Of course, eating an animal is never good for the animal. It needs to be killed in order to be eaten. But notice how Irving carefully avoids mention their slaughter, how it seems that the animals are gladly offering themselves, how happily they become pies or swim in gravy:
The pedagogue's mouth watered as he looked upon this sumptuous promise of luxurious winter fare. In his devouring mind's eye, he pictured to himself every roasting-pig running about with a pudding in his belly, and an apple in his mouth; the pigeons were snugly put to bed in a comfortable pie, and tucked in with a coverlet of crust; the geese were swimming in their own gravy; and the ducks pairing cosily in dishes, like snug married couples...
Notice the use of "snugly", "tucked in", cosily". Those words convey a sense of comfort, happiness. Ichabod is, indeed, picturing the animals as cheerfully and willingly offering themselves to be eaten by him.
Metaphors in journey to the center of the earth
Answer:
1. "Looking down at the fathomless pit into which I was going to engulf myself."
2. "I imagined I was traveling through a hollowed-out diamond with the rays disintegrating into a thousand dazzling lights."
Explanation: He uses the words "Looking down at the fathomless pit into which I was going to engulf myself" as a metaphor to explain that he was acknowledging that in order to face his fears, he had to go through a difficult journey that would be like a "pit" (water well) to him.
Axel also uses the metaphor: "I imagined I was traveling through a hollowed-out diamond with the rays disintegrating into a thousand dazzling lights." to describe how breathtaking and beautiful the sight was when he was on the subterranean, just as he was looking at a diamond and its bright lights.
Chapter I: The Cornerstone of Liberty
Three little vessels—the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery—left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.
But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?
What of the following best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh?
a
To introduce one source of the settlers' fears
b
To imply the new settlers would succeed
c
To suggest causes of the earlier failures
d
To create conflict for the new colonists
Answer:
The option that best summarizes the main point of including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh is:
A. To introduce one source of the settlers' fears.
Explanation:
The lines below have the answer to the question:
Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land.
The author's purpose in including information about the earlier colony of Sir Walter Raleigh is to introduce one source of fear of the new settlers. The author believes the settlers certainly asked themselves about what had happened to the previous party sent to the New World. Not knowing what their fate had been added to the settlers' fears. They wondered if the same - whatever it was - would happen to them. Notice that, once they arrived, those same questions arose again. At first fascinated by the beauty of the country, the settlers soon began to think of the dangers that lurked all around them.

Results for perpetrators and vicitms in darfur genocide
Answer:
The conflict in Darfur is an armed conflict that has been going on since 2003 between the various ethnic groups in Darfur and the Sudanese government in Khartoum. Rebel movements that have emerged from black African tribes are demanding more participation in the state and the development of their region. The government is taking military action against the rebels and is supporting local militias in this struggle, which consist of Arab rider nomads and have come to be known as Janjawid.
According to an uncertain estimate, there were at least 600,000 deaths until now, and 7.2 million people were displaced from their homes. The Janjawid and Sudanese government forces committed serious human rights violations. These include the destruction of villages, massacres of civilians and sexual abuses.

Explanation:
Read each statement and decide whether it is a scientific fact or science fiction.
Beings from other planets can disguise themselves as rocks.
All living organisms are made of cells.
Black holes are being used for time travel into the future.
Water can change forms to become ice or steam.
Answer:
1. Science fiction
2. Scientific fact
3. Science fiction
4. Scientific fact
Explanation:
Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement by experiments or other means. Statements 1 and 3 cannot be backed up by repeatable observation or empirical evidence (the information received by means of the senses, particularly by observation and documentation of patterns and behavior through experimentation), thus making them science fiction. Hope this helps.
Beings from other planets can disguise themselves as rocks is a science fiction. All living organisms are made of cells is a fact.
What is a rock?
Any naturally occurring solid mass or combination of minerals or mineraloid materials is referred to as rock in geology. It is divided into groups based on the minerals it contains, its chemical make-up, and how it is produced.
Except for the liquid outer core and pockets of magma in the asthenosphere, the Earth's crust and the majority of its interior are made of rocks.
Petrology and mineralogy are just two of the many geology subdisciplines that are involved in the study of rocks. It might only cover rocks found on Earth, or it might also cover planetary geology, which examines materials from other celestial bodies.
Igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks, and metamorphic rocks are the three main categories into which rocks are typically divided. Magma cools in the Earth's crust, where it solidifies to form igneous rocks.
