A synonym is a word or phrase that means the same thing, or almost the same thing, as
another word or phrase. Using synonyms can make your writing interesting and reduce
repetition.
You can also use synonyms to get at more specific shades of meaning. If something is not
just "good", but "very, very good," you might use a stronger synonym like "magnificent,"
rather than writing so many "verys."
Read the following sentence.
Daniel was very handsome.
Which revision of the sentence uses a synonym?
A
Daniel was very, very handsome.
B
Daniel was a modern-day Prince Charming.
Daniel was gorgeous.
D
Daniel looked like a Greek statue.

PLEASE HURRYYYYYY!!!

C. Daniel was gorgeous.

Explanation:

In the question, you were given the definition of synonyms. Our task is to determine which sentence contains the synonym of the phrase very handsome.

The word we're looking for can be found in option C. This word is gorgeous. It has the same meaning as very attractive, or, in other words, very handsome or beautiful.

Option A is incorrect because of the repetition of the word very. You were already given a similar example.Option B contains a metaphor - a literary device used to compare two different things that share a common quality. This type of comparison omits words like and as, stating that something is something else.Option D contains a simile - a literary device used to compare two things using words like and as.

This is why option C is the correct one.

Answer from: Quest

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
