I don't know any of the other similes because I have no idea what poem you read but here is the answer to what growing old like an onion could convey:

Onions are layered, as they grow more and more layers grow. This could mean that as Rachel grows, she gains more layers of knowledge and experiences and they keep layering over time as she grows.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. The news anchor of the morning show is famous for his facial expressions and

katrin [286]

This question is missing the answer options. I was able to find them online. They are the following:

1. piquancy; savior faire; preclusion.

2. magnanimous; querulous; punctilious.

3. sinecure; amenity; magnanimity.

Answer:

1. The news anchor of the morning show is famous for his facial expressions and the piquancy of his quick wit.

2. Sheena is famous for speaking in a querulous manner when she doesn't get exactly what she wants.

3. The new housing complex near the highway has every amenity a resident could ask for.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must first understand the context given in each sentence. Only then can we choose the appropriate word according to its meaning.

1. The wit of the anchor is being complimented in an interesting way. This is similar to the way we would compliment a sarcastic but funny person. With that in mind, we can choose piquancy as the best option. This word suggests spiciness, be it literal or figurative.

2. The context refers to when Sheena does not get what she wants, which already leads us to assume she is not happy about it. In that case, we can choose querulous, which means "pettish" or "waspish". Sheena most likely complains when things don't go her way.

3. This sentence refers to housing and what residents can expect. The best word is amenity, which refers to services or to the infrastructure of the place. Examples would be a covered parking lot or a fitness room in a building.
