1. <span>A. strength
The simile that likens his shoulders to a full sail shows the force that must be exerted to plough the field. A "globed" sail would be rounded because of the powerful winds blowing against it. Just as the wind's, resistance is transformed into something useful by moving the boat forwards; his father's exertion transforms the land into fields that grow crops of food. While ploughing the land in this way would certainly require knowledge and skill, the simile does not refer to these qualities.

Sentence D best uses sensory langauge to describe the setting.
In writing, sensory language is used to help readers connect with the scene or action going on in the text. This is mostly done by using descriptive words that appeal to our five senses. In this case, paragraph D uses words and adjectives that appeals to our senses (sight, soung, smell, taste, touch) like "cool forest air", "damp" and filtering sun".
Answer:
Chang doesn't succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China. My argument is that; he speaks very little about his life in China by only describing his relationship with his dad in a few lines. The only memories that he carries are those of his father carrying him in his shoulders after supper.
The narrator is more focused on his stay in the new village his family settled in after escaping the war and speaks little about where he came from. This way, he does not succeed in making the reader understand his feelings about leaving China.
Answer:
Hi! The correct order of the events that led to Art Fry's creation of temporarily permanent bookmarks described in <em>The Evolution of Useful Things</em> is: 3,4,1,2. <u>The correct answer is the third one.</u>
Explanation:
I chose the third option (3,4,1,2) because, according to the text, the chronological order for the things that led Art Fry's creation are:
- Spencer Silver came upon a curious adhesive that he demonstrated to Fry.
- Fry reflected on the failure of bookmarks to do all that might be expected of them.
- Fry spent nearly a year and a half experimenting.
- Fry's idea was accepted as being commercially viable.
Besides the way in which these events were described by the author, and if you think about it, it <u>is pretty logical</u> the way this happened. Usually, we come up with ideas when we are complaining about the lack of a thing that would be useful in certain moments. If you think about it, this is also what happened here. The last step of the process is always the commercial viability just as in this case.
