Answer: The simile comparing Allie's hair to a waterfall suggests that her hair is long and beautiful.

Explanation: It is not the first answer because is a waterfall beautiful? Yes. Is a waterfall shy? Absolutely not. Waterfalls are loud. It is not the second answer because do girls envy other girls because they are loud and forceful? No. They would probably be scared of her! It is not the third answer because yes, while her black hair is dark, why would they envy her because her hair is wet? Who wants to walk around with wet hair? It is the last answer because girls probably would be envious of Allie because her hair is long and beautiful. Those are two things that most girls would probably want in their hair, and those descriptions match up perfectly with what a waterfall is like.

Allie's black hair was like a waterfall of curls, making her the envy of many other girls. Allie is beautiful and shy, according to the simile that compares her to a waterfall.

A simile is a descriptive phrase that employs a comparison.

A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things directly. Similes differ from metaphors in that they emphasize the similarities between two things by using comparison words like "like," "as," "so," or "than," whereas metaphors create an implicit comparison (i.e. saying something "is" something else).

The etymology of the words demonstrates this distinction: simile derives from the Latin word similis ("similar, like"), whereas metaphor derives from the Greek word metapherein ("to transfer").

Therefore, Option (a) is correct.

In May 2019, the United Nations released the results of a landmark study on biodiversity. The findings were grim: according to data from hundreds of scientists, up to 1 million plant and animal species are now at risk of extinction.

Since the Industrial Revolution, the impact of human activity on the environment has grown increasingly severe. The burning of fossil fuels has caused atmosphere and ocean temperatures to rise worldwide, killing coral reefs and increasing the frequency of extreme weather events like droughts. Plant and animal habitats are often destroyed when companies extract natural resources and clear land for farming. And ocean pollution and overfishing harm aquatic life around the world.

In the report, UN scientists warned the public that this mass extinction event can only be stopped if we take immediate action. To protect biodiversity, countries must act to lower carbon emissions, protect vulnerable species and implement sustainable farming practices.

The author of this passage would most likely agree with which statement?

A
Frequent droughts are beneficial for the planet.

B
Rising ocean temperatures have made coral reefs healthier.

C
Governments should enact regulations to protect biodiversity.

D
UN scientists have overestimated the number of species at risk of extinction.

Sympathy
BY PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR

I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!

I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!

C)“I know why the caged bird beats his wing / Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;” ( Lines 8-9)
