Question 745 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the passage.Finn skillfully and easily put together my new desk.

When he finished, I treated him to some tasty tacos.
Answer
A
the use of the phrase “skillfully and easily”
B
the comparison of Finn to a brother
C
the alliteration in “tasty tacos”
D
the em dashes after the second mention of Finn
Explanation
The phrase “like a brother to me” compares Finn to a brother, which is a simile. That comparison is the figurative language in the passage. “Skillfully and easily” describes how Finn worked, “tasty tacos” is not alliteration, and the em dashes are punctuation.
