Thanks for posting. I hadn't thought of it before.
The quick answer to this is that they gather leaves to make boats. As a science major, I'm a little doubtful this would work. Those ants covered acres and acres and their size though relatively small, were huge compared to other ants. The surface tension of water with a leaf might be enough to accommodate 20 ants, but that was a spit in the bucket.
Further, this implies that the ants were discriminating enough to stop eating the vegetation (which is the central conflict of the story) and decide that they had to forestall their appetite so they had leaves to cross. Even if they were capable of such higher lever mental abilities, there likely were not enough leaves around to accomplish the crossing.
All of that just so I could answer A
A hyperbole is a exaggerated statement. it could help you understand how a person or a main character feels in a story :))
Answer: Pip, despite all of his snobbery and finery, got his fortune from a class of person Pip disdains and shuns.
Explanation:
In the book, <em>Great Expectations </em>by <em>Charles Dickens</em>, Pip Pirrip believed that his benefactor was a Miss Havisham and that through her, he had become engaged to Estelle. He strives to become an improved person so that he may join the upper classes of society where Miss Havisham and Estelle seemingly belong.
He was therefore shocked when he found out that his benefactor was indeed a convict named Abel Magwitch whom Pip had been kind to when Pip was younger. This was ironic because Pip in his quest to join the upper classes, looked down on people like Abel and yet it was those kind of people that were funding him.
