(NO LINKS) Read the passage from the chapter "My Breaking In" from Black Beauty, in which the horse describes his first encounter with the train.
In the course of the day many other trains went by, some more slowly; these drew up at the station close by, and sometimes made an awful shriek and groan before they stopped. I thought it very dreadful, but the cows went on eating very quietly, and hardly raised their heads as the black frightful thing came puffing and grinding past.
Why does the author use figurative language to describe the train in this passage?
A. The author uses an idiom related to the noises the train makes to explain that Black Beauty thinks the train is alive.
B. The author uses a metaphor that compares the noises the train makes and the animals peacefully grazing to allow readers to understand Black Beauty's awareness of his surroundings.
C. The author uses an analogy that compares time passing and a train passing to explain that Black Beauty feels as though time has slowed down.
D. The author uses personification of the noises the train makes to help readers understand Black Beauty's experience.

The Beggar and the King
by Winthrop Parkhurst
[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]
[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]
THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.
THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?
THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.
THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?
THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.
THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.
THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.
THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?
THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.
THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.
THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.
THE KING: Then bring out the spears.
THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.
THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.
THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.
THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.
THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.
THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?
THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.
THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.
THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.
THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.
THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.
THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.
THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.
THE KING: I am listening.
THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.
THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.

What do you want to learn? Life lessons (taxes, investments, money management), DIY stuff, etc.? Why do you want to know how or about this? Write a 7 sentence response.
Answer:
No topic mentioned, it depends on the topic you choose.
Explanation:
Start the answer off with
I want to learn ____ because ____
Going from there is easier. All you have to do is fluff the answer up with filler sentences and descriptive words. Describe why you would like to learn about your topic.
Here are some examples to start off with;
"I would like to learn to draw, because my aunt does it a lot."
or;
"I want to learn to program so I can start my own business."
Keep adding reasons why you'd like to do this, until you meet your requirement, and add filler and fluff to meet the long sentence requirement.
For example,
"I want to learn to program so I can start my own business. Programming makes it easier to make websites and advertising. I also generally find it pretty interesting and captivating."
We could've very easily added the last sentence into one of the previous. Just like this;
"On top of being cool, programming makes it easier to make websites and advertising online."
But despite being concise and clear, you may not meet your requirement or get full marks because of the lack of descriptive words.
Just by using adjectives and making longer sentences, you can easily complete questions like this as well as summaries, reflections, and other quiz questions that require 3 or more sentences with ease.
Look at that, you're already halfway done with the answer!
