Please help me. Thanks.
I agree with your answer for 1).
What do you think the answer is for 2)?
Yes. I agree with 2) C.
thank you so much
You're very welcome.
For the first question, the given figurative description is that the sky is adorned with peach-and-melon-colored ribbons as a blazing SOLAR sun begins to peek over the horizon. Based on this description, we can infer that the author is comparing the sun to the color of peach and melon.
The options are:
A. No change
B. Luminous
C. Radiant
D. Orange
Out of these options, the most consistent choice would be D. Orange, as it directly represents the colors described in the figurative language. Luminous and radiant do not specifically refer to color, so they may not be as consistent.
For the second question, the original sentence is:
Walking toward the docks, THE SEAGULLS ARE WHEELING AND SWOOPING. THEIR high-pitched cries sound like rusty door hinges.
The options are:
A. No change
B. watching the seagulls wheel and swoop, their
C. I watched the seagulls wheel and swoop. Their
D. the seagulls wheel and swoop. Their
The pronoun "THEIR" in the original sentence is already referring to the seagulls, so it doesn't need to be changed to "Their." Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
