Answers (Part 1):
A) As sharp as a razor
B) As steady as a rock
C) As poor as a church mouse
D) As black as coal
E) As clear as a crystal

Explanation (Part 1): Match the objects to the sentences that are typically used to describe the item. Do this to complete the simile.


Answer (Part 2): D

Explanation (Part 2): By using the clues in the paragraph, decide what the writer is trying to convey about Ivy and Fern’s bowling experience and skills. It is said how Ivy did not knock down many pins, meaning that A and C cannot be the correct answer. B or D could be argued to be the correct answer. I believe that D would be closer to the accurate answer, as only the last sentence would be true for option B, while the entire paragraph applies to option D.

Hope this helps!
