Question

read the poem. then, review the bolded text in the fourth stanza
robot fuel
weve been building this for weeks.
both of us making endless tweaks.
and now our robot almost speaks!
the one thing we forgot to do
was get the trash he needs to chew
for fuel to chat the whole day through.
sorting trash alones not fair.
some tasks are made for both to share.
gross chores are more fun as a pair.
our work was a cheetah, racing by.
in a flash, we fed our robot guy
so he could say hi and bye.
the bolded text shows a metaphor, which compares two things without using like or as. what is the purpose of this text?
it suggests that the task was finished quickly.
it shows that the robot was as hungry as a cheetah.
it highlights that the speaker and his friend couldnt find any fuel.

Explanation:

The bolded metaphor compares their work to a fast cheetah. The following lines state they fed the robot quickly ("in a flash") so it could function. This matches the idea that the task was completed rapidly. The other options are incorrect: the metaphor does not relate to the robot's hunger, and they did find fuel for the robot.

Answer:

It suggests that the task was finished quickly.
