Which excerpt from “good country people” is the best example of figurative language?

a. the reason for her keeping them so long was that they were . . good country people.
b. if she don’t get there before the dust settles, you can bet she’s dead, that’s all.
c. she would make these statements, usually at the table, in a tone of gentle insistence as if no one held them but her.
d. it was hard for mrs. hopewell to realize that her child was thirty-two now and that for more than twenty years she had had only one leg.

D

Explanation:

I dont think that Mrs. Hopewell's daughter grew a leg after twenty years of not having one. I think that she means that she went from a child so dependent on her mother's support to an indepent woman.

i would say c, admiration because the narrator related to the main character and she, too, once felt ashamed about her culture and wished to be an american girl to impress a boy. she felt admiration because her mom prepared her favorite foods when her and robert's (the guy she liked) family all came together and had a family reunion.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
