Rick is on a bicycle trip. every 4 days he bikes 230 km. if rick keeps this same pace for 16 days, how many kilometers will he bike?

The whale was a missile blasting from beneath the surface.  2.) a majestic whale leapt skyward before diving back into the sea.    these are both figurative language. this is so because the whale in sentence "1" was not actually a missile, nor was it actually blasting. now, for sentence "2", a whale can not actually "leap".
