How do you read a 50th inch ruler?

To read a 50th inch ruler, first identify the smallest unit of measurement, which is typically the smallest mark between the inches. Each inch is divided into 50 equal parts, so each mark represents 1/50th of an inch. Count the number of marks from the 0 inch mark to your desired measurement. For precision, ensure you align the object accurately with the ruler for an accurate reading.


Which line contains personification?

Personification is a literary device where human attributes are given to non-human entities. To identify a line containing personification, look for phrases that describe inanimate objects, animals, or abstract concepts as if they have human qualities or emotions. For example, "The wind whispered through the trees" personifies the wind by suggesting it can whisper, a human action. If you provide specific lines, I can help identify which one contains personification.
