This description matches the characteristics of a monocot plant. A common example of a monocot plant is corn.
Sharks followed slave ships because they were attracted to the garbage, offal, and yes dead slaves who were thrown overboard. It is also documented that slaves committed suicide by jumping overboard if given the opportunity although sides of some of the ships were netted to prevent this.
Cured bait refers to bait that has been preserved or treated to make it last longer and be more appealing to fish. This can involve techniques such as salting, smoking, or drying the bait. Cured bait can be particularly useful for long fishing trips or for targeting specific species of fish.
Worms consuming the blood of an animal
A non-example of personification would be a statement that does not give human qualities or characteristics to inanimate objects or animals. For example, "The wind howled through the trees" is an example of personification, whereas "The sun shone brightly in the sky" is not an example of personification.
simple leaf with netted venation
I think the watermelon is a dicot, so the leaf venation will be reticulated, or netted.
No, not all dicot leaves have netted venation. While most dicot leaves do have netted venation, some dicot leaves have parallel venation, particularly those in the families Araceae and Arecaceae.

Examples of netted venation can be seen in the leaves of dicot plants like maple trees, roses, and oaks. This type of venation is characterized by a network of veins branching out from a central midrib, creating a mesh-like pattern in the leaf.
netted
The two types of netted venation arrangements are pinnate venation, where the veins run parallel to each other along the midrib of the leaf, and palmate venation, where the veins radiate outward from a single point at the base of the leaf.
Venation is the arrangement of veins in an insect's wing or the leaf of a plant. Such venation is said to be netted if the smaller vessels branch from the larger ones either as in a feather or like the fingers of a hand. Please see the link.
