The correct answer is: Crying profusely

Remember that in figurative language, figures of speech are used in order to have a deeper impact or effect on the reader. Those figures of speech can be employed to provide the text with a deeper meaning, not only the literal one. In this case methapors, similes, and allusions would be chosen. They can also be use to make an effect on the reader's senses, in this case the author would chose alliterations, imageries, or onomatopoeia.

In this case the writer uses the phrase "she was a fountain". This phrase is commonly used to decribe somebody that is crying profusely as they squirt water like one. This is a metaphor as it compares in an implicit way two things that seem unrelated but have something in common.

Marina CMI [18]

Answer and Explanation:

A region of my city was going to go through a reforestation process and was calling for volunteers who could help in this process. When I heard about the need for volunteers, I thought it might be a good activity for me and my brothers to participate together, since we had free time and reforestation has a very noble goal.

I explained this to my brothers and told them where the reforested area would be, they didn't like the idea at first, but when I started explaining the importance of this type of project and how it would be beneficial for our city for the next generations, they agreed to participate, at least for a few hours.
