Figuarative langauage!
in the following lines, the author compares a bobolink to a to describe the liveliness of the bird's song.

"after the arrival of the thrushes (a type of bird) came the bobolinks (a type of bird), gushing, gurgling, inexhaustible fountains of song, pouring forth floods of sweet notes over the meadows."
a) fountain
b) song
c) flood
d) meadow

I know its been 2 years, but its A

Explanation:

If you read the excerpt you will see multiple mentions of what a fountain would be, for example, '' gushing, gurgling ''. If you didn't understand that, lets do process of elimination.

B) Song.

Read this. '' In the following lines, the author compares a bobolink to a ''Song'' to describe the liveliness of the bird's song. '' That wouldn't make sense.

C) Flood.

I could see this being my answer if fountain wasn't an answer, but fountain would make more sense due to the mentions of it.

D) Meadow.

I dont think meadows gurgle or gush.

Therefor, A) Fountain, would be the best answer. :)

A) Fountain.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given excerpt the author compares a bobolink to a fountain (using the metaphor "inexhaustible fountains of song..."), this comparison helps to describe the liveliness of the bird's song.
