Answer:

A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task.

Explanation:

         We do not know what poem this is referring to, but this poet uses a simile or metaphor. This is a type of figurative language and is not meant to be "taken literally." This rules out options C and D because there is not an <em>actual</em> elephant.

         While B could still be an answer, the narrator could have cleaned up their room once before without it feeling like a big task. Since they chose to compare it to an elephant specifically, we can guess that the answer will be "A. to show that cleaning the room will be a huge task."

Answer:

I feel like you should tell you aunt, so if something happens, you could have some adult to get help from. It kinda depends what kind of party it is. If its with  people older than you and if guys are gonna be there and its one of those drink and smoke and crazy parties, for your own self-respect, safety, and worth, its better not to go. (your not gonna miss anything anyways) Its better to just have a party between people you can trust and such. The parental supervision isnt needed for EVERY party. MOST parties dont have parents literally watching u like a hawk. But it just depends whos going to be there, what they are planning to do and if you think its going to be safe.

Explanation:

Ive made a mistake of going to a unsupervised party a while ago, and i regret it. Just make sure you stay distant from suspicious activity and just be paranoid and cautious of whats around u. OVERALL I THINK U SHOULD GO AND HAVE SOME FUNNNNN HAHA YOLO. (but stick with ur friends) :)

The theme that best established the conflict in this passage is:

Advances in technology can lead to devastation.

In a way the author tries to explain that  even with our incredible technological advances and superior knowledge, the gods can have the possibility of destroying themselves with nuclear weapons.
