C.) metaphor

A metaphor is figurative language because it is a figure of speech in which a comparison is being made between two things that are generally quite different in order to provide a more impactful/effective description.  A metaphor states one thing is another thing as is the case with the sentence you provided in which a person is being called an ostrich in order to provide the best description for readers.

Grade 7 TOP by MR Mohammed Abdelwahed whatapp (65002327)

Answer:

9. A) The Starfish

10. A) The sky

11. D) Collected

12. C) Rosie found a new thing to love

13. Rose climbed on her father's shoulders so that she could be closer to the stars.

14. The starfish lived in the ocean.

Explanation:

The given passage is an adaptation of the story <em>The Strange Star</em> written by Anita N. Amin. Another title that best suits it is<em> The Starfish. </em>The starfish is the strange star Rosie discovers. The story tells about how her love for stars in the sky taught her about another creature that resembles them. This is how the starfish becomes the most important thing in the story, which is why option A is the best one.

In the second question, we need to find the phrase substituted by the pronoun <em>it</em>. This phrase is <em>the sky.</em> We can see that here: <em>Rosie loved watching the </em><u><em>night sky. It</em></u><em> shined with so many stars.</em> Only the sky mentioned in the previous sentence can shine with stars.

The words <em>gathered</em><em> </em>and <em>collected </em>have the same meaning. When you're unsure about what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary.

In the second paragraph, we can see how Rosie found the starfish and fell in love with it. This is why we can say that the main idea here is that Rosie found a new thing to love. We can confirm this with the help of the following sentence: <em>Now, she loves both of them. </em>
