Answer

The answer is "like silent sentries standing tall."

Explanation

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things using the words "like" or "as." In the phrase "the silver slides shining free like silent sentries standing tall," the comparison is made between "silver slides" and "silent sentries" using the word "like," which is characteristic of a simile.

Measurement and Matter Distinguishing solid, liquid and gas phases of a pure substance There are three sets of sketches below, showing the same pure molecular compound (water, molecular formula H2O) at three different temperatures. The sketches are drawn as if a sample of water were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Only one sketch in each set is correct. Use the slider to choose the correct sketch in each set. You may need the following information: melting point of H2O: 0.0°C boiling point of H2O: 100.0°C

4. Would cultural characteristics like colony morphology be of value to a clinical microbiologist? How could they be used? 5. Were your cultures consistent in appearance? How could you confirm your culture was a pure culture? Where during the process of aseptic transfers could contaminants be introduced? 6. Jane was very careful in performing her Petri dish inoculation. When she examined her plate during the next lab period, a fuzzy white colony was growing on her plate, but not along her inoculation streak. What happened? Where did this colony come from? 7. Jeffrey, Jane's partner, inoculated a tryptone broth tube with E. coli. When he examined his broth tube during the next lab period, there was no growth at all. What might he have done incorrectly during his experiment? 8. In the case file, the organism responsible for the patient's death is a normal member of the human microbiota. How do you explain its having caused the death of this patient? 9. What is the connection between the events described in the case file and today's laboratory activity on aseptic technique?

A spinner with 5 equally sized slices has 2 yellow slices, 2 red slices, and 1 blue slice. Kaitlin spun the dial 500 times and got the following results. Outcome Yellow Red Blue Number of Spins 203 187 110 Answer the following. Round your answers to the nearest thousandths. (a) From Kaitlin's results, compute the experimental probability of landing on blue. (b) Assuming that the spinner is fair, compute the theoretical probability of landing on blue. (c) Assuming that the spinner is fair, choose the statement below that is true. - With a large number of spins, there must be no difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities. - With a large number of spins, there might be a difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities, but the difference should be small. - With a large number of spins, there must be a large difference between the experimental and theoretical probabilities.
