Read the following excerpt from paragraph 19: “We were far too sophisticated now, of course, to believe the witch-nonsense. But

old fears have a way of clinging like cobwebs, and so when we sighted the tumbledown shack, we had to stop to reinforce our nerves.”
Why is “clinging like cobwebs” an effective simile in this sentence?

Question 4 options:

It strengthens the creepy, eerie mood of the story.

What does “compromise” mean? No dictionary meaning!! Please) and example if possible
sveticcg [70]

A <em>compromise</em> is when two (or more) people make an agreement or solve an argument by both of them giving something up. They don't get 100% of what they want, but it means both people are 50% happy. This is often better than a win-lose situation.

For example- say a brother and sister both really want the last cookie, so instead of fighting over it, they agree to split the cookie in half. They each sort-of get what they wanted.
