Answer: C. helps readers understand how rough the water was

Explanation:

Similes are a type of figure of speech that enable one to compare something to another thing so that a better depiction of the scenario is painted. It usually uses the words 'like' and 'as'.

In writing that the waves tossed the people around like rag dolls, the author wanted the reader to know how rough the waves were such that the water was able to move people around like they were as light and easy to carry as rag dolls.

The sentence below may contain a fragment or run-on sentence. If you think the sentence is correct and does not contain a fragme
pogonyaev

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

When independent clauses are joined incorrectly (with improper punctuation or conjunction), we have what is called a run-on sentence. An independent clause is a group of words that can stay alone as a sentence, which means it offers information that makes sense without the help of another sentence.

A sentence fragment is basically an incomplete sentence. That means it is a phrase that is missing a key element, such as a verb or a subject, or a phrase that is dependent on a main clause but has been detached from it through wrong punctuation.

The sentence "After falling to the warm, damp forest floor, plants decay and release nutrients" is complete, and the punctuation is used appropriately. It might look confusing at first since the main clause came after the subordinate one. If we invert the clauses, we'll see there is no problem with the sentence - note that a comma will disappear now that the main clause comes first:

Plants decay and release nutrients after falling to the warm, damp forest floor.

How Candy's wife and Crooks can relate to each other?​
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

As Curley's wife implies, these three men are social outcasts.  They remain behind when the other ranch hands travel into town for drink and women.  Candy, Crooks, and Lennie are all crippled: Candy lost a hand in an accident with some machinery, Crooks has an injured back, and Lennie is "slow" mentally.  These physical and/or mental challenges have caused them to be placed on the periphery of the social order.  They do not easily fit in with the others and are able to bond, albeit for only a brief time, when they are all in Crooks' room in Section 4.
