Respond to the following in complete sentences: Identify which of the following examples uses figurative language to describe the image. What makes the example you identified figurative language? Which device is used? (10 points)

A. The motorcycle police sped through the busy streets of Boston as they escorted the yellow school buses and the brave students to their destinations.
B. As a gardener protects a new plant from a strong storm, the motorcycle police protectively surrounded the line of school buses from the angry bystanders.

I think it is A. 'The motorcycle police sped through the busy streets of Boston as they escorted the yellow school buses and the brave students to their destinations.' because B is talking about a Gardener protecting a flower from a strong storm and the article (or whatever) is talking about motorcycle police escorting school buses.

I hope this helps and that you get the question right!

Do NOT copy my answer! You grade will result as a 0%

My answer is:

Option B uses similes to compare the police to gardeners. Example: "As a gardener protects a new plant from a strong storm, the motorcycle police protectively surrounded the line of school buses from the angry bystanders." The whole sentence is a perfect example, the author of the sentence said that the police are protecting the school buses from the angry bystanders, like how gardeners protect their crops from storms.
