Answer: C. Frost's use of metaphor to give the apple trees the qualities of grazing animals emphasizes that the wall is unnecessary.
Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given excerpt Frost uses a metaphor that compares the apple trees to grazing animals ("My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines"), this helps to emphasize that the wall is unnecessary.
Sally threw her bike and ran towards the house. Her salty tears stained her cheeks as she was sobbing. She just managed to get away from the monsters, the people that tore her to the ground and punched her everyday. All she wanted was to go to the store to buy some groceries because her mom died when she was only 6 and her dad is a drunk mess. Her dad didn’t know about the bullies, Ericka and Everlyn, but she doubted he even cared. As she sprinted down the street, she heard the mimicking voices behind her.
is this enough? :)

Thus, the final sentence will be
They showed us <em><u>their</u></em> finished projects at the end of class.
