In lines 25 and 26, what is implied by the sentence When it comes to sports/ I'm like a fish upon the land?
A) The only sport I'm good at is fishing.
B) I play sports as well as fish can swim
C) I'm not comfortable on the playing field.
D) I would enjoy learning to play a water sport
I already chose B but I got it wrong soo.. I'm thinking D but idk
Maybe C because it's like a reference, it's not mentioning a water sport, so C?
yeah I think you're right. I just read the poem again and it says no bats, no balls, no mitts for me, just slip a pen into my hand.
Thank you!!
To understand the implication in the sentence "When it comes to sports/ I'm like a fish upon the land," let's break it down. In this sentence, the speaker compares themselves to a fish on land when it comes to sports. This implies that they feel uncomfortable or out of place when participating in sports, just as a fish might feel out of its element on land.
Based on this implication, option C) "I'm not comfortable on the playing field" seems to be the most fitting answer. The sentence suggests that the speaker lacks confidence or skill in sports and does not feel at ease when playing them. So, option C) is the most appropriate choice.
