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.

Read the excerpts from Team Moon and the NASA article.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Assuming that Team Moon was the first exceprt, the answer would be the following:  

The Team Moon excerpt is more emotional and dramatic than the NASA excerpt.

Explanation:

The correct answer is:  

The Team Moon excerpt is more emotional and dramatic than the NASA excerpt.

This is because it contains very dramtic words and phrases, including, "panic-stricken, gut-wrenching, [and] heart-palpitating." This while what I assume is the NASA exceprt is very technical and does not exress any emotion whatsoever.

Did you know Hong Kong is one of the world's most _______ cities?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B. Populous

Explanation:

The best option that completes this sentence is the word 'populous'.

<em>Did you know Hong Kong is one of the world's most </em><u><em>populous</em></u><em> cities?</em>

To complete this sentence we needed a word that modifies the noun 'cities', so we needed an adjective.

Option A is wrong because it is misspelled.

Option C is wrong because it is a noun. To put two nouns together doesn't make any sense to the information of the sentence.

Option B is correct.

<u>Populous (adjective)</u> - full of residents or inhabitants, as a region; heavily populated. This word is completely suitable for our sentence as it finishes its complete thought.

I hope it helped you :)
