    True or false: Your heart contains two atriums.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Your heart contains two atriums" is true. The heart is divided into four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The atria are the upper chambers of the heart, responsible for receiving blood from the body and lungs. They then pump the blood into the ventricles, which are the lower chambers of the heart. Therefore, the heart does indeed contain two atriums.

    • D.

      Personification

    Correct Answer
    C. Simile
    Explanation
    The given sentence "She is as slow as a snail" compares the slowness of the person to the slowness of a snail using the word "as." This indicates that it is a simile, as similes use "like" or "as" to make a comparison between two different things. In this case, the comparison is made between the person and a snail to emphasize their slowness.
