If an expository writing uses transitions such as for instance, for example, and by way of illustration, the passage most likely uses which of the following methods of exposition? 1. illustration-example 2. definition 3. process analysis 4. contrast/comparison

The correct answer is 1: Illustration-example.

Illustrations and examples are introduced by the transition phrases such as "for instance" and "for example". Some other linking words for giving examples are "to illustrate", "namely", and "such as". These linking words do not necessarily have to be at the beginning of the sentence.

the answer is b-$11,337.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
