I NEED HELP ASAP!!read the passage: "when her ayah was dead there was no one to give a thought to the little thing. think of the servants running away and leaving her all alone in that deserted bungalow. colonel McGrew said he nearly jumped out of his skin when he opened the door and found her standing by herself in the middle of the room"
which best identifies figurative language and explains its effect?

A. "nearly jumped out of his skin" helps the reader understand how surprised Mcgrew is
B. "giving thought" helps the reader understand how neglected Mary is
C. "deserted bungalow " helps the reader understand how neglected Mary is
D. "little thing " helps the reader understand how old Mary is

Answer A) “‘nearly jumped out of his skin’ helps the reader understand how surprised McGrew is” would correctly identify figurative language and explain its effect.

The saying “jump out of your skin” is used by people whenever they are extremely surprised by something, used to show just how taken aback they are. based on the context of the passage, we can conclude that answer A is correct.

I hope this helped! If it did, would you consider marking my answer Brainliest?
