Answer:

The option which best explains how the phrase "white granular powder" supports the author's purpose of calling attention to the environment is:

A. the powder is an unnatural substance.

Explanation:

Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) was a marine biologist and author born in Pennsylvania. In her book "Silent Spring", Carson discusses the harm human beings have been causing to the environment.

The white granular powder mentioned in the passage is pesticide. It is an unnatural substance which is harmful not only for insects but also for the environment in general, including humans. <u>By describing it as a white granular powder, Carson's purpose is to show it is an unnatural substance. Even though it fell "like snow", it is not snow. It is not like anything that truly exists in nature. White granular powder does not fall from the sky at all, unless made by humans, which is the case here.</u>

Are these similes or metaphors
Sliva [168]
Just so you know...

A simile is comparing something with something else using 'like' or 'as' (for example - I swam in the sea like a fish or my room is like a tip). 

A metaphor is a word or phrase that compares something with something else (for example - his heart is metal or my room is a tip). Hope this makes sense!

1. The road was as curvy as a snake - Simile 

2. My mum told me that my room is like a pigsty - Simile

3. Mike is like a scared kitten as he enters the haunted house - Simile

Hope I helped!

“You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once.”
padilas [110]

The correct answer is the following.

The purpose of the words “hour” and “spring” in the sentence “You ought not to think an hour upon the matter, but to spring to action at once.”, is:

<em> In the case of “</em><u><em>hour</em></u><em>” is that you </em><em>do not need to spend much time thinking </em><em>about the situation. In the case of the word “</em><u><em>spring</em></u><em>” the wat is used in the sentence is that you need to take </em><em>immediate action.</em> The statement is part of the document “The Crisis IV” of September 12, 1777, written by Thomas Pain.
