Yes it can be used as an adverb, but it is more often an adjective or preposition. Adverbially it means to, at or within a short distance or time; almost or nearly; and with or in a close relationship, e.g. "Taxpayers must hurry when the deadline draws near." Most of the uses of near to modify an adjective should more properly use "nearly." Adjectival uses include near relative, near miss, near likeness, near side (the left side of a car or animal team), near route ( the most direct). An archaic meaning is close, stingy, parsimonious. Preposition (used with an object): "I shot an arrow near the target" is similar to "I shot an arrow over the target", or "I shot an arrow into the target." It starts a phrase which can be either adverbial (as that one is) or adjectival, like "Hand me the arrow near the desk."
The term for administering a shot in a way that minimizes discomfort is known as a "subcutaneous injection." This technique involves injecting medication into the fatty tissue layer just below the skin, rather than into muscle tissue, which can be more painful. Subcutaneous injections are commonly used for vaccines and certain medications that are better absorbed in this manner. The nurse may use a smaller needle gauge and apply techniques such as pinching the skin to reduce sensation during the injection.
In the sentence "the ball shot straight up, into the air like a rocket", "like a rocket" is a simile. A simile is when something is like something else, but not the something else. This is a describing technique.So in this sentence, it means that the ball moved like a rocket would move.
Getting a tooth pulled is like getting a shot.
the flu shot was as painful as a bee sting.
the only rocket launcher i know about is on a boat in chapter 3-1 on a shipwreck boat in water. but the boat isn't shown on the map you have to look for it its up towards the top left part of the map. Personally there's no point in getting it, it only has one shot and you can't find ammo for it. You'll just have to buy a new one.
RPG stands for "rocket propelling gun" which pretty much the same but RPG are outside of the gun and attach then shot off (like the RPG-7) while rocketlauncher is just like a gun but a rocket instead of a bullet.
The way to remember the difference between a metaphor and a simile is to rememberAS ____ AS ___ = A Simile"Like" is used to mean the same thing as "as" in your sentence. Comparing two things saying one is "like" or "as" the other one makes this a simile.A metaphor compares by saying that one thing is another, as in just saying "The car shot through the night" meaning that the car was a bullet.
Depends on how and what you are comparing to with a basketball player. For example. "His lay up was so perfect it was like he the best basketball player ever to make such a shot."
"the pain felt like i was being shot, i didn't want to say goodbye to Charlie"
