Read the paragraph. Preparing for final exams was a marathon. First, Yuna collected all her notes for the year and highlighted the important bits. Then, she reviewed the chapter summaries in her textbook. Finally, Yuna made flash cards, which she studied every night for the three weeks leading up to the exams. What does the analogy highlight?
Answer
A
the long process involved in studying for exams
B
the ease that Yuna has when she studies for exams
C
the importance of making flash cards for studying for exams
D
the creativity that Yuna uses in studying for exams
Explanation
Calling exam preparation a “marathon” compares studying to a long-distance race. Yuna prepares in several stages and studies her flash cards every night for three weeks, emphasizing how long and sustained the process is. The analogy does not suggest that studying is easy or focus only on flash cards.
