Help with homeschool question! (ASAP)?
Sentence: Each section competes with the others to see which group will be the most productive.
Question: Each section competes is underlined in the sentence and it is asking for the figure of speech…So I have looked and I have just become confused.
Thankyou for reading and to all who respond, I really appreciate this. 🙂

If someone says that they are ‘starving’, they do not mean that they are in fact dying of hunger, but that they are very hungry. This is a simple example of a figure of speech, where the word is used to heighten or increase the state that they are describing. A metaphor or a simile are two of the most common forms used.
EACH–adjective, identifies section
SECTION–noun, subject of the sentence
COMPETES–intransitive verb (these do not contain/have a
direct object.)
WITH THE OTHERS–prepositional phrase; with (preposition),
the (definite article), others (noun)
TO SEE–verb phrase; to (a preposition), see (verb)
WHICH–adjective; identifies group
GROUP–noun
WILL BE– verb phrase
THE MOST PRODUCTIVE–adjective phrase; the (definite article; most productive (both are adjectives)
