Question

Which sentence BEST expresses the meaning of "Pears"? PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

The poet's aunts have both the soft, round bodies and the sweetness of pears

Explanation:

First, the Poet talks about the aunts' physical shape: "My aunties, like pears, have swelled at the waits as they ripened". Then, about who they were: "Not with the swelling of infection or with bloated self-importance, but in a natural, easy flow, as if all the goodness of their lives were trickling down to their laps, making a soft refuge for a child". They were sweet to be around. So they were like a pear in both senses.

Answer 2

The poets aunts have both the soft, round bodies and the sweetness of pears.
