a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.
since a simile is where you compare 2 things i imagine the similie would be somwhere were he is talking about the maple tree. "before your could say jack robbison they have gone and grown alot bigger than you ever thought they could"
i had some trouble looking for it and thats all that makes sense for the similie i belive.
I'm laughing at this first question because it doesn't seem necessary to know for graduation in the future lol.... Okay so the answer is D. because the whole paragraph was saying what he was packing and that he was excited for his trip so it doesn't make sense to go off topic about how far away his house is from the camp or that he spent last summer somewhere else and that there will be horses there. For an ending, you want to make sure its an ending point and not an unnecessary sentence.
B. Sketching a setting. It is a stage in which you have to answer questions about the main character. Sometimes you can answer questions about other characters, but take into account that they have to be relevant questions.
Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.
