Answer from: spacehunter22

hyperbole

A hyperbole is an over exaggeration. in this sentence, the speaker is over exaggerating the quickness with which the girl finished the test. It is highly unlikely she only took two seconds, but that is what it felt like to the speaker since she and others took much longer.

A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. A metaphor is comparing two unlike things without using like or as. Even thought the speaker is comparing her time taking the test and another girl's, these are not unlike items so the comparison is not considered a metaphor. The verbs in this sentence are compared, took, and finish. These are not strong verbs.

B. metaphor is the answer

Answer from: Quest

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.

after

although

because

before

since

when

for example,

after she won the competition, she became very popular.

although my father was hurt, he continued fighting for his rights.

as all of you got a ten, you will be able to leave early today.

before he went to the war, he asked his parents to bless him.

if it is cold, i won’t go out.

since you didn’t bring the homework, you will get low grades.

when it is hot in the town, everyone goes to the beach.
