The House It was their dream house-not because it was huge or gorgeous, but because for so many years they'd wanted to own one. Their children were 10, 12 and 15 years old. They had dragged them to four or five apartments and a few trailers while they saved money. But then Henry would lose his job, or Sandra would lose a big client for her accounting work, and they wouldn't be able to buy a house. Finally, they had, and now they waited for the inspector to meet them and assure them that the foundation was solid, the roof would last several more years and the heater was in good shape. But he was 25 minutes late. What is the best question to ask after you read the passage? O A Why does the couple take so long to buy a house? B. Why is the inspector late? Are house inspections a good idea? OD. How many children does the couple have?

Why was the inspector late?

for me, balancing all your work/homework is the hardest part in high school and the exams.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
