Reread this metaphor from paragraph 5:

... our entire clan would join together in a huge, black cloud.

What meaning does this metaphor add to the sentence?

It shows what a large group of

crows looks like in the sky.

It describes the place in the sky

where the crows will gather.

It communicates how the crows in

the clan feel about each other.

It explains the purpose of the large

gathering of crows.

It shows what a large group of crows looks like in the sky.

Explanation:

"Metaphor" refers to something that stands as a symbol or representation of another thing. In paragraph 5, "huge, black cloud" refers to "how the large group of crows looks like in the sky." Crows are black in color and if many of them will flock together or join together, they will certainly look like a huge, black cloud. There is no direct relationship between the crows and the clouds. so this also makes it a metaphor.

So, this explains the answer.
