Answer:

I and III: Simile and sensory imagery

Explanation:

Simile and imagery are both figurative languages that are used to make the writing more memorable and significant. While similes are used to compare two or more elements using the word "like" or "as", imagery is a vivid, descriptive and sensory language that is used to appeal to our senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch.

The excerpt uses both techniques as it describes the way someone was wrapped by making a comparison: "like garbage sitting", and the subsequent words are descriptive enough to appeal to our senses of smell and sight: "by the smell of too old potato peels."

Write a paragraph on how broccoli is a vegetable
lesya [120]
Broccoli is a green vegetable that vaguely resembles a miniature tree. It belongs to the plant species known as Brassica oleracea.

It’s closely related to cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale and cauliflower — all edible plants collectively referred to as cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli is a human invention. It was bred out of the wild cabbage plant, Brassica oleracea . It was cultivated to have a specific taste and flavor that was more palatable to people.

Here's how that worked. Wild cabbage has small flower buds and is a biennial. That means it only flowers every other year.

In a controlled environment, it can be forced to reproduce itself many times. When an offspring of the plant with larger, tastier buds grows, gardeners threw away the less tasty plants and started reproducing from that one.

In future generations, there were further opportunities to get plants with larger, tastier buds. And other genes that make the process easier, such as plants that have a faster growing cycle emerged.

In selecting and reinforcing the traits enjoyed by more people, humans took wild cabbage and cultivated a new kind of plant altogether, broccoli.
