Answer: B) The author uses figurative language to create strong sensory images of nature.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given excerpt we can see an example of the use of figurative language, specifically personification such as: "the world seems to hold its breath," "the sleeping sky," "the water-oaks had ceased to moan as they bent their heads," etc. The personification is used to create strong sensory images of nature.

This question probs will get taken down because it is unrelated to any standard education
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Depends on the person.

Explanation:

But, when it comes down to it, don't let yourself mold into what other people expect from you. If the person or people you like want you to act a certain way, don't change yourself for them. Be yourself. People say it all the time, but it means a lot more than everyone thinks. Make the first move. Flirt. Ask them to hang out. Ask them on a date. Do whatever you want, but keep you and them comfortable and feeling safe.
