Answer:
The bushes are dancing because:
4. The birds are hopping around in the branches.
Explanation:
The passage we are analyzing here clearly states that it is because of the birds that the bushes seem to be dancing:
<em>[...] and the bushes fairly danced with birds.</em>
<em>[...] as the small gray birds hopped on the swaying branches.</em>
The birds are hopping, stretching their wings, puffing out their chests, all the while making the bushes' branches sway. Why does the author use the word "dancing" to describe the movement of the branches, then? This is a technique called personification. Bushes cannot dance but, by saying so, the author conveys the idea that the way the bushes are moving is beautiful, rhythmic, hypnotizing, just like dancing.
I believe the correct answer is: D. The author humanizes the
prion with playful language by saying "[i]f it manages to burrow into a
corner."
In this excerpt from "Mad Cow, Furious Farmer”, the example
in which the author keepings a lively tone even while discussing a disease is:
"[i]f it manages to burrow into a corner."
As opposed to the terminology author uses (such as: bovine
spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)), the informal language of more commonly
understandable comparison gives the lively tone to this excerpt, even though he
is addressing the serious disease. Other example of this would be: "a
little bit squishy and maybe a little bit sticky".
