Question 23 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B
Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.”But, leathery hands fullof wet brown life,knee deep in the summerroadside grass,he just smiled and saidthey have places to go totoo.Why does the author most likely use the figurative language "they have places to go to too”?
Answer
A
to show that Grampa respects the toads as living creatures
B
to prove the toads do not really have anywhere to go after all
C
to demonstrate that the toads have a busy night ahead of them
D
to compare the toads to the conditions they face that night
Explanation
Grampa gently moves the toads off the road and says they have places to go, just like people do. This figurative language treats the toads as living creatures with their own lives and destinations, showing his respect for them. It does not suggest that they are busy or describe the conditions they face.
