Answer: Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh
Explanation:
The text in this excerpt from N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountainb that uses a simile to create a vivid picture is "Great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh".
A simile refers to a figurative language there used in the description of people, places, events etc through comparisons. In similes, words such as "like" as used in showing similarities.
In this excerpt, we can infer that the simile was used in the phrase "popping up like corn". This conveyed the message that grasshoppers jump out of the tall grass.
I want to help but what's supposed to be bolded?
The correct answer is <span>hī' brĭd, which is the second option.
Even if you are unsure about the first syllable of the word, you can find the correct answer based on the second syllable. The second syllable, brid, is short, you pronounce it quite fast, which is why you need to use the symbol </span>ĭ, which is a breve, and denotes a short syllable. Given that the second option is the only one that has that symbol, B is the correct answer. The first symbol, ī', is read as 'ai.'
Guessing at what word the question is asking about here. I'd say B - obstinacy means being stubborn or inflexible, which doesn't apply here.
