Question

Read this excerpt from The Secret Garden.

They drew the chair under the plum-tree, which was snow-white with blossoms and musical with bees. It was like a king's canopy, a
fairy king's
What is the meaning of the figurative language used to describe this scene?
O The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads
O The beauty of the tree makes it only fit for a king
O The tree is so beautiful that it cannot possibly be real.
O The area under the tree seems like a castle

Answer 1

The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads.

Step-by-step explanation:

I saw lots of answers saying that it was D, but I took the test and it said it was "The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads.".

I believe this is the one, since:

- The second one says it's only fit for a king, but the sentence doesn't mean that. It means that the tree was beautiful, and it would fit anyone.

-Not the third since the tree is real, but it says it isn't.

-Not the fourth (last one), since it says under the tree, it looks like a castle. The few sentences didn't exactly describe that under the tree, it looks like a castle. All it described was that it was really beautiful, since they said, "They drew the chair under the plum-tree, which was snow-white with blossoms and musical with bees. It was like a king's canopy, a fairy king's.". All of those words describe a wonderful and beautiful place!

So in conclusion, it's "The blossoms of the tree make a beautiful covering over their heads.".
