I could help, if you can comment the answers given!
I think the answer is B, C, D but im not sure
1) b and a - A sparse crowd is one that is small and scattered.
2) c and b - To petrify someone is to terrify that person.
3) a and b - An intense pain is one that lasts for a long time.
4) a and b - A prone figure is one that is lying face down.
This is a metaphor.
Similies use "as" or "like" to explicitly denote a comparison and personifications give human-like characteristics to animals, objects, or concepts.
Hope this helps! :)
The answer would be D. "Yet, he figured out how to make a battery using soda, metal, and tape."
This shows that Kelvin was creative in solving the problem of having no batteries because he found a way to create his own with rather strange items. Most people wouldn't think to create anything with those three items, which shows that this creation took extra creativity on Kelvin's part.
