This must be from a standardized test. The wording is a little confusing, but I'd say it is a metaphor. Google says the definition of metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This is saying something <em>is</em> something, or comparing two items without using "as" or "like". Have a good night/day!

-Dylan (AKA Animus)

kirza4 [7]

The sentence of this excerpt that gives a sense of Stephen's reluctance to take part in sports is:

<em>He kept on the fringe of his line, out of sight of his prefect, out of the reach of the rude feet, feigning to run now and then. </em>

This sentence conveys the idea that, although the character is on the brink of getting involved, he does not actually take part. Rather than that, he tries to remain invisible for the ones that are, in fact, involved.

PART A: Which statement identifies the central idea of the text?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

B. Allowing and encouraging people to fail helps them to make sense of what they are learning.

Explanation:

Remember, we are reminded of the story of Thomas Edison the great scientist who failed many times, learnt from his failures, and then discovered a new invention. The article employs educators especially to have a mental shift about their negative view of failure

Thus, the central idea of the article is that we accept failure, as this would lead to new discoveries and inventions.
