Choice A. is an example of an idiom. Notice that it uses the words "his mood came out of left field." It's not to be taken literally. Idioms are expressions whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings.

Examples are:

"It's raining cats and dogs!"
- It's not literally raining cats and dogs like animals are falling from the sky. It means that the rain is heavy and it may refer to storm with winds.

"It costs me an arm and a leg."
- It doesn't really mean that you have to give up your body parts. It may refer to something so hard to get that you have to work really hard for it, causing your body to get tired and maybe it costs a lot that you need to give your body parts for it.

I hope you get it! :)

Hi,

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

I think its a great idea! Hope this below helps! I'm only a ninth grader so I did my best!

Explanation:

I get anxiety and just seeing a kitten helps soothe me, but I still have worry gripping at me. And when I go to the pound just to pet the kittens and cats my worries drift away.
Whenever we get in fights/ whenever I have a hard time I have no one to vent too. I feel isolated and alone. Having a animal around would help me process whats really real and knowing that this animal would love me unconditionally without any fake friendliness is something I really need not just want.
I will do everything myself, from brushing to stinking my school ready outfit for cleaning the litter box. I wont forget! I'll set alarms on my phone to feed him/her. to clean out the litter box. And even stick post it notes around. (Parents love post it notes for some reason)
It wont just be fun and games ( you might want to start out with this line first) How am I going to survive in the real world if I cant even take care of a kitten! Parents are supposed to prepare you for th adult hood. How am I to be prepared if I can't even raise a tiny little animal. let me prove it to you
But and I say this with great care. Make sure your financially stable. You dont want to finally convince your parents and then run out of money for vet bills and shots. Kitten shots are exspensive. You also have to neuter or Spay them on top of it. You might want to go for an older cat.
