1. To figure out which of the options would most likely connect with the speaker of "Growing Pains," we need to understand the theme and context of the poem. "Growing Pains" usually refers to the challenges and difficulties one experiences during adolescence. Among the given options, a teen whose parents are going through a difficult divorce would most likely connect with the speaker, as divorce often affects teenagers emotionally and psychologically. Therefore, the correct answer is "a teen whose parents are going through a difficult divorce."
2. To identify the type of figurative language used in the line "She said my room was a pigsty," we need to analyze the comparison made in the line. In this case, the speaker is comparing their room to a pigsty, implying that their room is messy and disorganized. Since this comparison uses the word "was," it is an example of a metaphor. Therefore, the correct answer is "metaphor."
3. The meaning of the word "simulation" used in the excerpt from "What Makes Teens Tick?" refers to a computer representation or imitation of a real-life activity or situation. In this context, the experiment mentioned involves using a driving-simulation game to imitate or simulate the experience of driving. Therefore, the correct answer is "computer representation."
4. To determine the correct sentence from the given options, we need to consider the subject-verb agreement. In this case, the subject is "herd of buffalo." Since "herd" is a singular noun, we need to use the singular form of the verb. Therefore, the correct sentence is "When the lions approach, the herd of buffalo runs toward the river for safety."
5. To identify the correct sentence, we need to analyze the subject-verb agreement and grammar. Sentence (1) "At the slumber party, everybody were asleep after midnight" has a subject-verb disagreement, as "everybody" is a singular pronoun and should be followed by the singular form of the verb. Therefore, it is incorrect. Sentence (2) "No one likes to be uncomfortable while sleeping" is grammatically correct as it maintains subject-verb agreement and uses proper grammar. Sentence (3) "Each guest have a sleeping bag and a pillow" should be corrected to "Each guest has a sleeping bag and a pillow" to ensure subject-verb agreement. Therefore, the correct sentence is "No one likes to be uncomfortable while sleeping."
