The sensory details in the excerpt evoke a sense of...:


...awe and wonder.


There's description of mysterious lights, as well as flares and sparks. The adjective choices show awe and wonder: great, dead white, intense, white-hot, brilliant... Plus, there is a quite meaningful direct comparison here: "it seemed as though anything caught in their range would be made still, like figures in a game of living statues." The fact the author talks about "living statues" also shows awe and wonder.

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.

2. </span><span>D. "Mapping the furrow exactly" </span>

Reference to the father's expertise is indicated by his "mapping the furrow" and doing so "exactly."

Elena L [17]

Answer:

.....is not only difficult, but also dangerous.....

Explanation:

It´s not a good idea to ride a bike on a flat tire, instead you should buy a new flat and replace it immediately. If you insist in riding on around on a flat tire (this task will not be that easy to do),  you probably will destroy your bike definitely and put yourself and others at serious risk of having an accident.   ..... for both you and your bike."
