Answer:

Letter B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Idioms are a type of figurative language, and they express a feeling and every word should be understood as a whole and the meaning is not literal. Idioms are also untranslatable and we can't find an example of this in the excerpt.

An onomatopoeia is a word that tries to imitate sounds of a person, animal, or thing, creating a sound effect to make the description more expressive. In the excerpt, we can't see any of them.

Personification is when an animal or thing is given human characteristics. There isn't anything like that in the excerpt.

A simile is intended to show similarities between two different nouns and it normally uses the words like or as. In this case, the speaker is comparing the board with house of cards build by a child when he says "like a house that..." making letter B the correct answer.

Your best answer choice will be is Were.

Because You were the most important person at the time makes sense. But, If you put You was the important person at the time doesn't make sense at all... Hope This Helps!!

What can you infer about Lennie's childhood and family life in the book of mice and men?
Valentin [98]
I think you could perhaps get that someone may have helped him and looked after him in a way that he didn't need to be very independent, George is always helping him and telling him things they don't have.. This could be down to his mental health but also down to his childhood. Just what I got from it..hope it helped a little :)

What kind of things do you think filmmakers must consider when shooting a film? If you have ever shot a film or recorded a video
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

You need a camera to film your movie. You could use an iPhone or camcorder, but a mirrorless camera like the Panasonic G85 or Fujifilm X-T3 has more scope for creative filmmaking. A microphone will help you get better sound, and a tripod or stabilizer will keep the camera steady. You might need lights or reflectors.

You’ll need an editing program or app. iMovie and Adobe Rush are easy to use; Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro are more advanced and powerful. If you’re shooting on a smartphone, you could edit on the phone or a tablet, but it’s easier on a computer.
