Answer: “like clouds across the sky” helps the reader understand that Euphemia’s sketches on horses looked so real that it appeared like they were constantly moving just like how clouds move constantly across the sky.
Step-by-step explanation:
“like clouds across the sky” is an excerpt from the short story Drawing horses by Cerelle Woods which tells us about a young girl, Marisa who wishes to draw her horses perfectly like her classmate, Euphemia Tucker.
“like clouds across the sky” in Line 3 ---Marisa tries to explain how Euphemia's horses looked and compared them with the clouds in the sky which always appeared to be in constant motion (due to winds ). This helps the reader understand that Euphemia's sketches looks so real as though they were moving just as the clouds in the sky does.
