Answer:
B.) They employ figurative language.
Explanation:
Note, the word figurative language basically refers to the used of words to communicate in a way that what is said or written does not follow a regular (literal; simple) meaning rather is to be understood in a more complex or unique (symbolic) way.
In the first excerpt, the use of the phrase <em>"he took the tortillas out of his poetry"</em> is to be understood symbolically. Similarly, in the second excerpt, the expression <em>"the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head," </em>the reader observes a personification of the object, 'tree', this is a good example where figurative language can be observed.
The full sentence would be:
It is like something my mother wore thirty years ago.
The correct contraction of <em>it is </em>is <em>it's.</em>
The answer is B. It's like something my mother wore thirty years ago.
Bold best described the tone.
The best revision of the statement "Children seem to like me, and I don't mind hanging out with them. It's pretty easy to keep them amused" is:
Children seem to like me, and it's pretty easy to work with them.
<em>This revision deletes the phrase "I don't mind hanging out with them", that phrase is not really necessary since it was already stated that children liked the person. It is logical that the person doesn't mind hanging out with someone who likes him/her. Also, the phrase "it's pretty easy to keep them amused" suggests that working with them is easy. At the end of the day, the key to work with children is being able to keep them amused, in other words, getting and keeping their attention. </em>
