Answer: Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh
Explanation:
The text in this excerpt from N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountainb that uses a simile to create a vivid picture is "Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh".
A simile refers to a figurative language there used in the description of people, places, events etc through comparisons. In similes, words such as "like" as used in showing similarities.
In this excerpt, we can infer that the simile was used in the phrase "popping up like corn". This conveyed the message that grasshoppers jump out of the tall grass.
Out of all the pronouns, "whom" makes the most sense grammatically. This allows us to narrow it down to A or D.
In order for it to be the object of a preposition, there would have to be a preposition in front of it. "For," however is <em>not</em> a preposition. In fact, there isn't a preposition in the whole question.
This leaves us with option D, which is the correct answer.
You can better tell it's a direct object if you flip the sentence around a bit.
Your sister is waiting <em>for whom</em>?
"Whom" is essentially receiving the action. "Whom" is what your sister is waiting for.
Answer: D. whom; direct object.
