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."

What incentives do people/authority figures in your life use to influence how you act?
galben [10]
I can’t answer that one since it’s supposed to be personal but basically the question in easier words is what encourages do people, friends, people u admire influence how u act

Example: I admire a rude person so maybe it influences me to be rude, I admire my best friend for always making her homework in time so I’m starting to make it in time.

Hope this helps :)
