Well, well, well, let's tackle those questions, shall we?
For the first one, the sentence that uses a metaphor is A. She is a walking encyclopedia. It compares the person to an encyclopedia, emphasizing their vast knowledge.
Now, for the second question, the text suggests that there was a divided opinion about the pies. Half of the crowd cheered for the coconut pie when it got the first-place ribbon, while the other half booed when the key lime pie received the second-place ribbon. So, it's safe to say that both pies were good, considering they received recognition, but the crowd had different preferences. Therefore, the answer is D. Both pies were good.
Enjoy the fair and the delightful pies!
The sentence that uses a metaphor is:
A. She is a walking encyclopedia. This sentence compares "she" to a walking encyclopedia, suggesting that she is very knowledgeable.
From the given passage, the inference that can be made is:
D. Both pies were good. The fact that half of the crowd cheered when the first-place ribbon was placed in front of the coconut pie and half of the crowd booed when the second-place ribbon was placed in front of the key lime pie suggests that both pies were competitive and well-received, each appealing to a different portion of the crowd.
To determine which sentence uses a metaphor, you can analyze each option to identify figurative language that compares two unrelated things.
A. "She is a walking encyclopedia" - This sentence uses a metaphor as it compares someone to a walking encyclopedia.
B. "The battleship's engine groaned" - This sentence does not use a metaphor but rather personification, as it gives human qualities to the battleship's engine.
C. "The night sky was like a cathedral" - This sentence uses a metaphor as it compares the night sky to a cathedral.
D. "That was the shortest weekend ever!" - This sentence does not use a metaphor, but rather exaggeration or hyperbole.
Therefore, the sentence that uses a metaphor is Option A. "She is a walking encyclopedia."
Regarding the inference that can be made from the text about the county fair bake sale, the information provided suggests that the crowd had mixed reactions to the placement of the first-place ribbon and the second-place ribbon for the coconut pie and key lime pie, respectively. It does not explicitly state which pie was the best or if either pie was good.
Therefore, the correct inference based on the text is neither A, B, C, nor D. The text only provides information about the crowd's reactions, indicating that it was a highly competitive year at the county fair bake sale.
