Which statement best interprets the meaning of the

metaphor?

I saw Sienna sprinting down the final stretch in long,

graceful strides. The cheetah chased her prey, which, in

this case, was a first-place ribbon

Sienna ferociously looked for food to eat

Sienna raced against a very fast animal.

Sienna looked everywhere for a prize.

Sienna ran quickly and with purpose.

I saw Sienna sprinting down the final stretch in long, graceful strides. The cheetah chased her prey, which, in this case, was a first-place ribbon.

Obviously Sienna is running and being compared to a cheetah, she was running swiftly.

That leaves us with either Choice B or Choice D.

The dialogue states that Sienna was "sprinting" or rather, "chasing" her pray "which, in this case, was a first-place ribbon."

Sienna was not racing against a fast animal - - the text was saying that she was as fast as an animal. Therefore, Choice B is incorrect.

That leaves us with Choice D, the correct answer. Sienna ran swiftly with the purpose of winning the first-place ribbon.
