What simile does the narrator use to describe the sound of "the woman's" high heel in bud not buddy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Her high-heeled shoes sounding like little fire-crackers going off on the wooden floor

Explanation:

Bud, Not Buddy is a children's novel written by Christopher Paul Curtis.

It is a comedy set in Michigan during the Great depression. It is the story of an orphan who moves from one foster family to another.

The narrator uses simile to describe the sound of the woman's shoes.

Simile is a figure of speech that uses "like" or "as" to compare two different things and show a similarity between them. Here, the woman's high-heeled shoes are compared to the sound of firecrackers going off on a wooden floor

Answer:

2. Extrovert

3. Avert

4. Traverse

Explanation:

All you have to do is take the prefixes, mix them with the roots, and search what the words mean. For example, I found the answer to number three because the prefix "a-" means away from (as the word box tells you) and then I put "a-" with both "vert" and "verse". I knew that "avert" was correct because avert means to turn away. But you could simply put "a-" with "vert" and "verse" and search what the words meant.

How does reading Passage 1 help the reader better understand the events in Passage 2?

A: It provides the reader with an explanation of events leading to Icarus's situation.

B: It gives the reader information about the relationship Icarus had with his father.

C: It offers the reader an understanding of the culture of the past to contrast with today.

D: It helps the reader get to know Icarus's qualities to understand the way he lives his life.

Answers

Answer:

B: It gives the reader information about the relationship Icarus had with his father.

Explanation:

You did not present the two passages to which the question refers. However, taking into account the attached passage and assuming that it is passage 1, we can say that it helps to understand the relationship between Icarus and his father. This is because it shows how close they are to drawing up a plan together and giving them freedom. In addition, it shows Dedalus' concern about the height that Icarus was flying and his disappearance after the fall. This shows that there was a strong father-son relationship between them.

today. So far, every dealer had tried to sell him a car by telling
him he couldn't get a better deal from anyone else. Now he was
listening to the fourth salesperson:
"Paul, you should not let this offer go. This is the best deal
around. You could own this sporty new model and stay within
your budget. For the price, I think the car has the best
combination of comfort and speed. The car also gets great gas
mileage and is loaded with extras. It has air, power windows
and leather seats, Best of all, the car is the sharpest of any of
the new models.
"Now, Paul, you can take this car tonight if you write me a check
for the down payment and leave your old car in trade. I would
like to offer you a special car loan that stretches over a seven-
year period. I have never offered a seven-year car loan, but I
know that you really want the car. To be honest, none of the
other car dealers can offer a seven-year loan."

The man looked quickly and saw a flag.
The flag was hidden from view for several minutes.
The man looked for a long time until finding the flag.

Answers

Answer:

The man looked quickly and saw a flag.

Explanation:

To glance means to take a brief and quick look at something. As the line says that man “glanced”, this means he quickly looked. “The old flag met his sight” means that when he took that quick look, he saw the flag.

He did not look at it carefully or for a long time as the line does not suggest that and that is not the meaning of the word. There is also nothing to suggest it was hidden and couldn’t be seen.

Answer:

B). The man looked quickly and saw a flag.
