Raise the driving age to 18! after reading mr. j. brown's letter, dated august 15, i feel compelled to write and let your readers know how i feel about raising the driving age from 16 to 18. teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are 18. only high school graduates should be given a driver's license, and only after successfully completing a driver's education class during their senior year of high school. right now, 15-year-olds can get a practice permit and try for their license at 16. this is too young. eighteen is a better age. at 18, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions. not all 18-year-olds are mature, but the majority of them are. at least we are more mature than 15-year-olds. which sentence provides the best supporting point to defend the author's position? a) teenagers should not be allowed to drive until they are 18. b) only high school graduates should be given a driver's license. c) some younger teenagers are perfectly mature and responsible, of course. d) at 18, people are more mature and better able to make mature decisions.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
