Answer:
The given excerpt is an example of convergent thinking. Convergent thinking is a process in which an individual seeks a concrete solution to a problem they are given. There is only one best solution to the task, and the point of convergent thinking is to discover that exact solution. Many tests used in education include multiple-choice questions, math problems, spelling exercises, and similar tasks, which are all questions that test the process of convergent thinking. In the given example, Shana is looking for an exact image of the tree she is standing next to, which is a task that includes convergent thinking.
The opposite of convergent thinking is divergent thinking, which includes the exploration of multiple possible solutions in order to create ideas.

Figurative Language
"Thin as a soda straw the slate pencil was
wrapped in red, white and green paper, the colors
spiraled as on a barber's pole."
<u>Here, we can see that there is a use of simile and metaphors to compare the pencil to a soda straw to show how thin it is and to show that the colors spiraled which does not happen in real. </u>

Literal Language
'The slate was set in a wooden frame decorated with
red and green stripes. In one corner there was a small
hole in the frame for the string to which the slate pencil
was tied. '
