Answer:
Jim lifted the heavy bag of concrete because he was as strong as an ox.
Explanation:
It is the fourth one because it is the only sentence describing someone/thing as strong. (as an ox.)
The first one has nothing to do with being strong.
The second one would be correct if it was "The boat was as strong as an ox as it persevered through the rough waters.", but since that isn't the sentence, it wouldn't work.
The third one is incorrect because if the toy was made to be as strong as an ox, why is it breaking into tiny pieces?
Therefore, the fourth one is right. :)

Answer:
C) He slows the action to show how the children feel as they realize Margot is still in the closet.
Explanation:
In Ray Bradbury's short science fictional story "Throughout All Summer In A Day", the story revolves around the time when it has been raining for seven years on the planet Venus. the sun shines only for a couple hours and then rain started again, which is like a normal thing for the people on that planet.
At the start of the story, the author describes the children as<em> "animals escaped from their caves"</em> and <em>"wheels, all tumbling spokes"</em>. This is to show how energetic and restless they are, and their excitement in seeing the sun. But then, his narrative changed, describing them standing <em>"as if someone had driven them, like so many stakes, into the floor."</em> This is after their realization that they have left Margot locked up the whole time they were enjoying the sunlight. This change in the way the author describes them shows the more slower scene of their realization, the feeling of remorse they have n their action.
