These appear to me to be rather difficult.....
I'd say the first one is a melapropism...
For the 2nd one I would probably go with the last option however I'm not 100% sure. Maybe someone could clarify this? or correct me?
For the 3rd one I would go with a. As this form of narrative is written in 3rd person by someone who is impartial....
For 4 I would say B.
5-B.
6. A
7- I find rather difficult. I would probably go with B as the chains may refer to noise? But I am rather unsure of that one...

I would just like to say this is what I Think are the answers. I am not 100% sure. Maybe someone could clarify or correct if they find them in some way wrong....

I thought my answers seemed to be out of place.

 

[WOA]

lol ENGL101 eh?
most of these answers are easily googled without resorting to public posts on messageboards!

...especially with a twilight nickname!

I have all those answers except the metaphor one - I am starting to think UNE actually fucked that question up - but the last thing i need is UNE booting me out of the unit for handing out answers. send me a PM if you need a hint or two

This is pretty sad. Not only is this extremely lazy but it is also an act of cheating and a serious breach of UNE confidentiality on teaching material.

I suggest you work these out for yourself.
