Read the paragraph.As they got the gym ready for the dance, the decorating committee looked like a flock of birds trying to build a nest before it rains. Each member would dart to the edge of the gym and sort through a pile of materials to find just the right decoration. Then, they would all converge on a single spot and combine their finds to decorate the area. When they would finish, they would rush back to the edge of the gym to get the next set of materials. Back and forth they went, until the gym was filled with ribbon-like streamers, glittery posters, and shiny balloons.Why does the author most likely use the analogy?
Answer
A
to imply that the committee needs more materials
B
to suggest that the committee is overdoing the decorating
C
to clarify why the committee feels unhappy and worried
D
to emphasize that the committee is quick and coordinated
Explanation
The paragraph compares the committee to birds darting back and forth to build a nest, then describes members quickly gathering materials and working together in one spot. This analogy emphasizes how fast and coordinated their decorating efforts are. It does not suggest that they are unhappy or that they lack materials.
