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."

I believe it’s “People should not fear space weather because violent events are rare and space is vast” because the paragraph wants to convince you that space weather shouldn’t be one of things you should be worrying about.

just olya [345]

“The dog curled up in bed”
