Explanation:

Without knowing further details of the passage or book, we can only guess.  With that being said, the author may have used the simile to describe how as the night progresses, it gets darker, as if the security blanket was covering the area.

Maybe something like this.  Good luck.

Cheers.

Answer:

Beacause the author is trying to describe how night time is really like, a pitch black secrity blanket is very dark compared to the night time. So the author is comparing both of them to the same topic.

Hope it helps you out

How does Tan build a central idea of her story in the excerpt?
Nat2105 [25]

Tan from the excerpt is able to build the central idea in that she relates her mum's English as evidence that one's mother tongue or the language of one's upbringing is a deep form of expression.

<h3>What is a central idea?</h3>

A central idea is an idea in a text around which all the other elements of the story revolve.

Thus, it is right to state that Tan from the excerpt is able to build the central idea in that she relates her mum's English as evidence that one's mother tongue or the language of one's upbringing is a deep form of expression.

What is the correct choice for this question I really need answer
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

If you actually read the passage, you could eliminate 3 answers. It isn't logically correct to say Biogeography and Climatology were primarily in only Germany, It being popular also has no effect on the passage or not. And just because it was named after someone doesn't stand logical from a standpoint of the passage so the Only answer would be A.
