The answer is:

B. Sanjay, in his suit and tie, stood out <u>like a sore thumb</u>.

D. Anika’s hands were shaking <u>like leaves</u> as she got up to give her presentation.

E. The finch was <u>as busy as a bee</u>, building her nest.

F. The cabin stood <u>as a solemn sentinel</u> on the shore of the lake.

A simile is a comparison between two things of different kinds in order to make a description more emphatic or intense. It is an explicit metaphor and uses linking words such as <em>like, as, so, than</em> and several verbs similar to <em>resemble</em>. Similes are usually used to compare animate and inanimate things, and sometimes with humourous intentions.

Anna007 [38]

The jaguar had begged the king forgiveness for the way he acted. He was scared for a severe punishment since he had forgotten to do his duties because he fell asleep.When the jaguar came to the king he was to scared to tell him that he had a dream that gave him a wish, but he told the king that he had a dream.The king turned and looked to the jaguar and he chuckled. The king told him to tell him about what he had dreamed about when he slept.The jaguar told the king that in his dream he was going to marry a beautiful princess with baby blue eyes. He dropped to his knees and begged the king to arrange a marriage for the jaguar and a princess.The king's facial expression turned sour and he warned the jaguar to be careful with what he says because a crazy demand would anger him. The jaguar went silent and thought to himself. The king then told the jaguar that it is not best to ask or even demand something just because he had a dream about it. Such a demand would be ridiculed and make the jaguar look like an idiot.The jaguar continued to stay quiet and after a long time spent in thought he had an idea. He looked back at the king and he said," If we can't make a wish just because we had dreamed about it, then how come man can decide to slaughter animals and life just because they dreamed about eating their flesh or because they hold a grudge towards them.The argument that the king heard from the jaguar hit him and he too was surprised. He told the jaguar that he respects his argument and that he will take his idea into consideration but as for his wish it was denied. He made a law that would prevent animals from having contact with any humans in the wilderness as well as the world. Animals were pulled away from human homes, farms, and facilities to keep them altogether. Although some animals do not share the same views on this subject because some animals have actually befriended humans as pets. Animals protested against this decision and others embraced this new law because they feel it would secure them and their children. The community in the wilderness was divided, torn, and angry. The animals who embraced the decision felt like the opposers were traitors to them and had turned their back on their fellow animals. The animals who opposed the decision decided to form a group to further protest this unjustified decision and elected the wise owl to be their leader due to his ability to convince others about views he sees but they may not be able to see. The owl scheduled a meeting with the king and they both discussed their arguments but the owl told the king of the animals who had befriended the humans and were apart of their families. The king ignored these comments believing his position justified his ruling and the owl was thrown in a prison cell for opposing him and his authority.

Why does Miep feel this way? She is relieved that the frightening officers have left. She is shocked and disappointed by the day
ladessa [460]

Miep feels that way because she is shocked and disappointed by the day's events, as shown in the second answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Miep is scared and upset that Nazi officers have found the Franks' hideout and may be taking them to concentration camps.
  • She has dedicated herself so much to helping the Franks and they know they are good people and so she feels very sad and apprehensive about everything that is going on.
  • Her feelings were so intense about the arrival of the officers that she couldn't focus on anything, without even noticing the day going by.

In short, Miep was very affected by the arrival of the Nazi officers and the events of the day they arrived.

You can see the full question in the attached image.
