Answer:
In this sentence several grammatical errors are observed:
1.chili, Amy. It is not a merged sentence
2.spoonful, the. There is an error, since the comma between two sentences creates a splice error
Explanation:
1.The explanation is that a comma is missing in the main sentence (After listening for weeks to her boyfriend, Steve bragging...), since when a sentence is in the participle it has a main sentence, therefore, you must separate both sentences with a comma.
2.The text reads that "Amy anticipated that the first delicious spoonful" is the first sentence. The hair that floated among the beef and the beans, however, killed her appetite" is the second sentence. That comma should not be because it would create a splice error between the two sentences. To solve it you can use the word "but" before "the" and eliminating “however”.
Answer:
C. Simile
Explanation:
The correct answer is <em>simile</em>.
Simile is a figure of speech that uses <em>"as"</em> and <em>"like" </em>to compare two things. It is used in comparing one thing with another thing that is of a different kind.
This tries to compare "<em>when friends can't be found"</em> to "<em>a bridge over troubled water". </em>Simile differs from metaphor because it compares two things directly by highlighting the similarities between those two things using "like" or "as".<em> </em>Metaphors actually create an implicit comparison.

Answer:
The theme of "The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is self-confidence and self-trust.
Explanation:
"The Girl Who Threw Butterflies" is a novel written by Mick Cochrane. The novel is about a young girl named Molly Williams, an eighth-grader, who has lost her father in a car accident.
Molly doesn't want to be seen with sympathetic eyes by people, conveying the message "Oh! Poor girl, she has lost her father", rather she wanted to be known more than that. Molly with this desire in her heart joins the boys' baseball team. The theme of the novel is self-confidence and self-trust. This theme is evident when Molly tries to persuade her mother and everyone that she can play and compete with the boys in the baseball team. But her mother was unsure if she could play baseball with boys. Another evidence is when Molly tries to get into the boys' baseball team and her trial was taken, every boy thought that Molly won't be able to make it up to the team and that she can only play <em>girls softball. </em>But in Chapter 13 we can see that how Molly was able to make herself a place in the team and was selected.
<em>"She took a deep breath and then looked. There it was, at the very bottom of the list, the very last name: Molly Williams."</em>
