A comparison between two things which says that one thing is another?

A metaphor. Examples of metaphors are: "At night the sea is a black abyss that stretches on through eternity."

"But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the Sun."

In contrast, a simile is a comparison that uses "like" or "as." A metaphor states that Thing 1 IS Thing 2. A simile merely states that Thing 1 is similar or the same as Thing 2.

Examples of similes are: "Her contemptuous laughter washed over him like a bucket of freezing water."

"He opened his eyes to see her face looming above him in the darkness, as luminous and radiant as the moon hanging in the night sky outside."

if it has like in its a simile!!

What does it mean fair is foul and foul is fair?

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair" is perhaps one of the most significant lines in Macbeth.

Part of an experiment that is not being tested and is used for comparison?

This probably refers to the 'control'. In a very simple experiment you may add food colouring to a solution to see what colour it sent the solution. You would also have a second sample of the solution which you would not add food colouring to. This would be your control and would serve the purpose of making sure that the solution wouldn't have changed colour by itself anyway. It would also be there for comparison, so that you could compare the colours to see just how much the colour had changed.

Where does water from an ancient roman aqueduct go?

The water for Roman aqueducts primarily came from natural sources, such as springs, rivers, and lakes, located outside the city or settlement that needed a reliable water supply. The Romans were skilled engineers and innovators in hydraulic engineering, and they used various methods to capture and transport water over long distances to their cities.

Here's how the water was sourced and channeled for Roman aqueducts:

  1. Springs: Springs were one of the most common sources of water for Roman aqueducts. Natural springs are areas where water naturally flows to the surface from underground aquifers. Romans would build structures to capture the water from springs and direct it into the aqueducts.

  2. Rivers: Some Roman aqueducts were constructed near rivers, allowing the water to be diverted from the river into the aqueduct channels. The Romans used dams, weirs, and other hydraulic structures to control the flow of water from the river into the aqueduct.

  3. Lakes and Reservoirs: In some cases, the Romans created artificial lakes or reservoirs to collect and store water. These reservoirs served as water sources for the aqueducts during times of high water flow and were strategically located to ensure a steady water supply.

  4. Watershed Collection: Roman engineers devised systems to collect rainwater from large catchment areas known as watersheds. The collected rainwater would flow through channels and conduits into the aqueducts.

  5. Gravity: Roman aqueducts relied on gravity to move water from the source to the destination. The aqueducts were carefully engineered with a slight downward slope to ensure a constant flow of water without the need for pumps or other mechanical devices.

  6. Underground Conduits: Some aqueducts were built underground to protect the water from evaporation and contamination. These underground conduits, called "specus," were lined with waterproof materials like concrete or clay pipes.

Roman aqueducts were marvels of engineering and construction, and many of them still stand today as impressive historical monuments. The aqueducts played a crucial role in supplying water to Roman cities, supporting public baths, fountains, and private households, and were instrumental in the growth and development of Roman civilization.

What is a superlative comparison?

Think of it as good, better, best. As you move from positive to comparative and superlative you are increasing the number of others in the class that are being talked about.

Ex. Soft, Softer, Softest: This toilet paper is soft. But between these two kinds, this kind is softer. And when we compare it to two or more others, we find that it is the softest.

It is a common mistake to think that an object you use the superlative with must be superior in that quality to an object you use the positive with. That is not true. A superlative is only superior in that quality with respect to the other objects it is compared to.

For example: "Rabbit fur is soft. I'd much rather have underwear made out of it than out of the softest sandpaper." The positive "soft" is applied to the rabbit fur, and the superlative "softest" is applied to the sandpaper. Of course it is superlative only when compared to other sandpaper.

Relationship between phonology and semantics?

Phonology is the study of the distribution and patterning of speech sounds in a language and the rules governing pronunciation.

Semantics is the study of the meaning, changes in meanings and the principles that govern the relationship between sentences and words and their meanings.

To seek a difference, the relationship is that Phonology covers speech sounds and their distribution in general. Semantics is the detail of these sounds.
