Select the correct word or words to fill in the blank. Winston Churchill,
gave inspiration to the embattled nation during some of its most trying times
A that was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
B the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
C who Primely Ministering United Kingdom
D he was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

the correct answer is d.   to change the pace

explanation:

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.

(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.
