Answer 8

Read the text then answer the question that follows:

Wild animals as viewed from a mountain camp—Camille Grant, October 2011

Through my binoculars, I viewed a group of wild animals in action. A pride of lions was sleeping when a small, yellow bus pulled up beside them. Tourists on a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can. Armed with cameras, they invaded the lions' territory, hoping to capture the perfect photograph. The crowd leaned out the windows, hooting and hollering, until the lions awoke. When the lions moved away, the bus rolled after them, relentlessly stalking the pride. One of the lions turned and roared to protect the young. This was greeted with cheers and a celebratory honk of the bus horn. The curious visitors observed the lions' routine for an hour before moving on. Leaving a cloud of dust, the bus headed away, taking the wild animals off to disturb someone else's home.

Review the following line from the text:

Tourists who had paid money for a safari were packed into the bus like sardines in a can.

Which statement is true?

The sentence features figurative language in the form of a metaphor.
The sentence features figurative language in the form of a simile.
The sentence features literal language in the form of a metaphor.
The sentence features literal language in the form of simile.

Answer 9

Ok can you explain to me what you think figurative language means?

Answer 10

Figurative language, also called a figure of speech, is a word or phrase that departs from literal language to express comparison, add emphasis or clarity, or make the writing more interesting with the addition of color or freshness.

Answer 11

Ok and now can explain what a simile and a metaphor is?

Answer 12

A simile is saying something is like something else.
A metaphor is often poetically saying something is something else.
An analogy is saying something is like something else to make some sort of an explanatory point.
You can use metaphors and similes when creating an analogy.

Answer 13

Ok and with that information do you think the text would be either figurative language in a simile or metaphor

Answer 14

metaphor

Answer 15

i op

Answer 16

That would be incorrect remember a metaphor is saying something is something and a simile is saying something is like something

Answer 17

i it a simile

Answer 18

"Tourists who had paid money for a safari were packed into the bus LIKE sardines in a can."
