Answer:

D.

Explanation:

In these lines, the author compares feelings of grief to a wet mop. The author tells us that Shelley had been grieving for a long time. At first, this was considered normal. However, after a while, the grief and the sadness that grief brings with it become repellent and people begin to feel uncomfortable about it. The author supports this idea by exaggerating the effects of a wet mop and describing how it can repel others with a bad smell.

Honestly, I would guess C. The author compares grief to a wet mop to show that when the time for grieving ends, each person must let go of it on his or her own.

Talja [164]

The sentences that are punctuated correctly are listed below.

  • My science teacher, who is new to my school, is encouraging me to enter the science fair.

The other sentences should be written differently.

  • We need the commas to separate the additional, irrelevant information.

Javier made a sculpture out of seashells that he found on the beach.

  • The comma is not necessary.
