3Which statement explains the simile, “Maybe it just sags / like a heavy load” (Lines 9-10)? A. It can be difficult to know that a dream stopped serving its purpose. B. It can be frustrating to see a dream fail to become a reality. C. A postponed dream can become something difficult to carry. D. Dreams can easily bounce back after being neglected for some time.

The simile here clearly indicates this sentiment:

C. A postponed dream can become something difficult to carry.

Explanation:

The sentiment here is between the ability of a load to sag. Any load can only sag when it is being carried. It cannot sag when it is in a state of stasis.

Thus, with this out of the way we can see that the sentence that would explain this simile will have the load being carried by the carrier who sees and notices the sag it has induced.

This is well found in the line where the dream is postponed and thus carried in the conscience of the person that makes it heavy. If the dream is expressed it would not be sagged but it is not.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

hi,   i believe the outlines that were supposed to be showing at the sentences, are not. could you highlight them somehow?
