Answer:

"After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed  over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car."

Explanation:

Look at the excerpt carefully.

"After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed  over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car."

Similes compare nouns using the words "like" or "as."

"After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from behind and fantastic raindrops, <u>like</u><u> tin-can tops,</u> crashed  over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet's car."

Thus, this excerpt would be the correct answer. I hope this helps! :)

Read the incorrect sentence.
Sauron [17]
The answer here would be answer choice C. When reading this statement out loud, one can tell that there is a "gap" at the beginning between "he" and "is". It starts up an entirely new statement without any punctuation, so we can tell that this is the only place that our semicolon deserves to go.
