50 POINTS!!! The excerpt below is an example of figurative language from the short story "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" by Rudyard Kipling.

When he had lifted one-third of himself clear of the ground, he stayed balancing to and fro exactly as a dandelion-tuft balances in the wind, and he looked at Rikki-tikki with the wicked snake's eyes that never change their expression, whatever the snake may be thinking of. What purpose does the bold-faced figurative language serve?

How does the author’s word choice create the tone of the article?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Well if an author uses very negative words, then the tone of the article goes that way. If they were discussing something political and the author used a lot of hurtful words then it makes the tone of the article seem very anti whatever they were writing about.

Choose the correct, can be both
Makovka662 [10]
I think both are correct in #1.

I’m not sure if there is a typo in #2 and if its supposed to be “going TO shopping malls” or just “going shopping malls”. But I think the first option, “I really dislike going (to) shopping malls” would be correct.

3. is the first one, “Could you please stop making that noise?”
