Read this excerpt from the way to rainy mountain. great green and yellow grasshoppers are everywhere in the tall grass, popping up like corn to sting the flesh, and tortoises crawl about on the red earth, going nowhere in the plenty of time. why does the author use the simile "popping up like corn to sting the flesh" in this excerpt? to show the extent to which nature can harm people to depict the grasshoppers’ vastness and activity to convey the role that animals played on the kiowa journey to reveal in images what the passage of time meant to the kiowa

The correct answer is C. The author uses the simile "popping up like corn to sting the flesh" to depict the grasshoppers' vastness and activity. The simile is a figure of speech used to establish comparisons. By comparing the movement of the grasshoppers to the popping up of corn, the author helps the reader create a visual image of how the movement of a grasshopper looks like.
