NEED HELP ASAP!! In Chapter 20 of The Secret Garden, the author wrote that "Colin was standing upright – upright—as straight as an arrow and looking strangely tall …”

How does the author's use of simile help the reader understand what has happened?

An arrow is long and thin, and Colin has been sickly.

An arrow is straight and strong, and Colin is finally standing up straight.

An arrow is straight and tall, and Colin looks tall and upright.

An arrow travels quickly, and now Colin will be able to move very quickly.
