<u>Reason for comparing the dirty pair of socks to a "sad little salted
</u>
<u>slug":</u>
A slug is a small but slimy creature that gets dehydrated when enough salt is poured upon it. It loses water, shrivels up looking dirty and eventually dies. Apparently, a salted slug is not a happy creature as it is sure to die as soon as it loses all its water. Thus, it is a ‘sad little salted slug’.
The narrator in the three minute fiction ‘Not That I Care’ describes one of the pair of socks left by a character Marcus making use of simile, a literary device of comparison. The comparison is made between common characteristics of the two things compared.
Out of the two socks forming one pair, one lies in front, easily visible, dirty and all curled up while the other one is hiding under the bed.
The comparison implies that it was mucky and repelling like a salted slug. It was lying unattended like a salted slug devoid of vitality. Simply thrown away carelessly in the house, it seemed sad too. The narrator had no intention of touching it, so the chances of its revival were bleak.

Geology is an earth science that studies particularly everything pertaining to the composition of the Earth, its ground, soil, water, rocks, anything that is pertaining to the characteristics of the Earth, and sometimes other planets. There are many tasks that geologists perform, but in a nutshell, they work mostly with governments, educational institutions such as universities, and most particularly the construction, oil, gas and mineral industries, studying the composition of the ground and other components of the earth, to establish the possiblity of mineral, oil and gas presence, the usefulness of a terrain for safe construction and also to build models that foretell possible natural disasters like earthquakes, and others. These are just a few of the many jobs performed by geologists, but two specific ones are: A: prepares scaled drawings of construction sites for clients, as they are the ones who, with mathematical models and earth-structure study, can tell if something can be built or not in a terrain, and C: Investigates the formation process of rocks, as this is basically the backbone of geology, the study of the composites of the earth.

Answer:
