Question

what does the sentence “...her friendships were landmines, waiting to explode if she made one wrong move\ suggest about jada’s experiences?
ela.e1.aor.8.1 interpret an author’s use of figurative, connotative, and technical language in literary, informational, and multimedia texts.

○ jada feels unsafe and anxious in her relationships.
○ jada enjoys testing the limits of her friendships.
○ she believes her friends are plotting against her.
○ her friendships are exciting but unpredictable.

Explanation:

The metaphor compares Jada's friendships to landmines, which are dangerous and can detonate suddenly with a small misstep. This implies her relationships feel threatening, leaving her on edge. The option stating she feels unsafe and anxious directly matches this connotation, as landmines represent hidden danger and the need for constant caution. Other options do not align: testing limits is not implied, there's no indication of plotting, and "exciting" is not part of the negative, anxious tone of the metaphor.

Answer:

Jada feels unsafe and anxious in her relationships.
