Question

Highlight the sentence in the paragraph that contains an adage. My sister and I were looking for a snack Way in the back of the refrigerator, I spotted two of our favorite yogurts. Perfect When I pulled them out, I noticed the wrapper edges were frayed. It looked like they may have been there a while, and one of the containers was smashed in. My sister didn't care and was already running for a spoon. "Careful" I said, "Where there is smoke there's fire. These yogurts look kind of funny. And I can't even read the expiration date." "You just want them for yourself," she said, as she ripped off the wrapper. "Yikes!" she yelled, and we both held our noses.​

Answer 1

Answer: Where there is smoke there's fire.

Explanation:

An adage is referred to as a wise saying. It's a traditional saying that expresses a truth about a particular thing.

The adage in the story is "Where there is smoke there's fire". This means that there's a rumour about something and therefore there must be some truth about that thing.

Here, the narrator used the adage in explaining that the yogurt may be spoilt and that the sister needs to be careful.
