What does the simile at the end of the passage mean? Answer by completing the sentence.
Galarza compares the words to trapezes in full swing to
explain that
We always started with the easy [words] I had already
learned, and which I wrote down and read from the slate.
The new ones I had to listen to first, putting them
together as well as I could from the sounds. At the end of
the lesson I had to listen to the formidable words that
sounded more like trapezes in full swing.

Ernesto Galarza
X he learned the first words very quickly
the last words were easy for him to learn
his teacher was going too slowly
the harder words made no sense to him
