Which technique is the author using in this passage to reveal character traits? passage from the grapes of wrath each night they unrolled the mattresses on the floor, and each morning rolled them up again. and every day they went into the fields and picked cotton, 80 cents for 100 pounds, and every night they had meat. revealing the characters’ thoughts showing the characters’ actions describing physical traits conducting a conversation

showing the characters’ actions

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
