My new friends are all great.
1. How do you like them?
2. What do you think about them?
3. How do you feel about them?
4. What do you think of them?
5. How do you feel of them?
6. How do you think about them?
(What is not correct and not the same as #1? I think #6 is incorrect. Am I right?)
7. He won three gold medals in/for the 100 meter, the 200 meter, and the 400 meter relay(s).
(Which preposition is right, 'in' or 'for'? Do we have to use 'relay' or 'relays' here?)
8. gold medal, silver medal, bronze medal/ copper medal
(Which one is correct, 'bronze' medal or 'copper' medal?)
In 1 - 6, only #5 is not correct. All the others are fine and mean about the same thing.
7 -- "for" -- and yes, use the plural because there are three races named.
8 -- bronze medal
Oh, yes, you're correct that #6 doesn't mean the same thing. So #s 5 and 6 are incorrect. #s 1-4 are fine.
Think of a time when you used rhetorical devices to persuade someone about something. Then, in 150-300 words, describe the situation and identify your use and the success of at least 2 rhetorical devices.
1. "How do you like them?" is a valid question to inquire about your opinion or preference towards your new friends. To answer this question, you can express your level of satisfaction or enjoyment with your new friends.
2. "What do you think about them?" is another way to ask for your opinion about your new friends. You can share your thoughts, impressions, or evaluations of them.
3. "How do you feel about them?" is similar to the previous questions but emphasizes your emotional response to your new friends. You can express your feelings, such as whether you find them likable, trustworthy, or supportive.
4. "What do you think of them?" is another way to gauge your opinion about your new friends. You can provide your thoughts, assessments, or judgments regarding their qualities or actions.
5. "How do you feel of them?" is grammatically incorrect. The correct wording should be "How do you feel about them?" As mentioned earlier, this question focuses on your emotional response to your new friends.
6. "How do you think about them?" is not a common or natural way to inquire about your opinion of someone. The more appropriate question would be "What do you think about them?" This allows you to express your thoughts, opinions, or assessments regarding your new friends.
Regarding your analysis, your intuition is correct. Question 6 ("How do you think about them?") is less common and may sound unnatural in comparison to the other options. It is more typical to use "What" to inquire about thoughts or opinions rather than "How" in this context.
Moving on to your second set of questions:
7. The appropriate preposition to use in this sentence is "in." Therefore, the correct sentence would be, "He won three gold medals in the 100 meter, the 200 meter, and the 400 meter relay." By using "in," it suggests that the person won the gold medals within those specific events.
Additionally, the plural form "relays" should be used instead of "relay." This is because each event listed (100 meter, 200 meter) is separate from the relay event. Therefore, it is more appropriate to mention "relays" to indicate multiple events.
8. The correct phrasing would be "bronze medal." The term "copper medal" is not commonly used. In sporting events or competitions, the standard progression of medals is gold, silver, and bronze. Therefore, the third-place medal would be referred to as the "bronze medal."
