Question

Choose the best paraphrase of the lines from the limerick.

Said the fly “Let us flee.” / “Let us fly.” said the flea. / So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

A) The 2 insects had to get out, so they flew through the chimney even though it was hot.

B) The fly and the flea agreed to escape, so they flew through a crack in the chimney.

C) The flea and the fly agreed that they needed to escape on a dog named Flue.

D) The fly and the flea agreed it was time to leave because the humans in the house had the flu.

I think it’s C, I really don’t know. Help please!!!

Answer 1

no C is not correct but if you go back and reread it you should be able to figure it out

Answer 2

I researched the a limerick real quick I believe the answer is B because I don't see a mention of a dog anywhere. Also a flue is used for a duct for waste gas, and that sounds similar to a chimney. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

When you encounter a word you don't know, like "flue", look it up. It's easy.
