Read the excerpt from "Seedfolks." He showed me exactly how far apart the rows should be and how deep. He couldn’t read the words on the seed packets, but he knew from the pictures what seeds were inside. He poured them into his hand and smiled. He seemed to recognize them, like old friends. What does the figurative language in the excerpt help the reader understand about the man planting the seeds? He is frustrated that he cannot read. He is happy to be planting again. He remembers each type of seed. He looks at the seeds in his hand.

The correct answer is B) He is happy to be planting again.

Explanation:

From this excerpt of "Seedfolks", by Paul Fleischman, we can conclude that the man planting the seeds is not at all concerned about his inability to read. Quite the contrary, his only focus is the seeds inside the packets, which he knows really well. The fact he smiles at the seeds in his hand and recognizes them as if they were "old friends" shows that he missed planting, that he is happy to be planting again. That is the most important detail in this excerpt, the detail that helps us understand this man. Therefore, the answer is B) He is happy to be planting again.

i think the answer is invented words, rhyming knack, alliteration, and, metaphor.
