"No wind had blown for weeks, and each bough was fully freighted. Each time he had pulled a twig he had communicated a slight ag

itation to the tree -- an imperceptible agitation, so far as he was concerned, but an agitation sufficient to bring about the disaster. High up in the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing them. This process continued, spreading out and involving the whole tree. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out! Where it had burned was a mantle of fresh and disordered snow."
Which explanation best describes the movement of the tree in the passage?
A. The slight movement is strong enough to cause an avalanche.
B. The slight movement is causing the entire tree to move.
C. The slight movement is difficult to identify.
D. The slight movement is nonexistent.

I am offering this poem to you,
Oxana [17]

Answer:

2. Simile

1. Thick socks

2. Warmth and comfort

Explanation:

Both simile and metaphor are figures of speech used to compare two things. However, there is a difference. The simile is a more direct comparison than the metaphor. It uses words <em>like </em>and <em>as</em>, while the metaphor omits them, stating that something is something else.

As we can see here, in the fifth line, the word <em>like</em><em> </em>is used: .<em>.. or </em><em>like</em><em> a pair of thick socks... </em>This shows us that the poet is using a simile. He compares his poem to a pair of thick socks, suggesting that it can provide warmth and comfort.

Read the resolution and the affirmative claim.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Students attending college in the US spend an average of nearly $26,000 a year for tuition and fees.

Explanation:

In the given resolution and the affirmative claim, the main idea is that of college education and the fees. The speaker talks of the need for a free college education for every student.

In support of the claim, the speaker provides a resolution that the United States should make higher education free of cost. And to support the claim that <em>"the average cost of college has nearly tripled, making a college degree unobtainable for many"</em>, the best piece of evidence is sentence 2. Mentioning the amount of money required for attending college will provide the best evidence of the difficult conditions for getting a college degree.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
