Read the following sentence from the grapes of wrath by john steinbeck the tractors came over the roads and into the fields, great crawlers moving like insects, having the incredible strength of insects. they crawled over the ground, laying the track and rolling on it and picking it up. which statement best describes the effect of the simile on the excerpt's meaning?

d. it compares the tractors to insects to convey their unstoppable force.

the simile in the sentence is "great crawlers moving like insects". a simile is a comparison between two different things using like or as. in the simile the speaker is comparing tractors to insects. they come over the fields with force as they churn up the ground. since the tractors are covering the fields, they are obviously going somewhere so the first option is incorrect. while flies are insects, they are not specifically flies or described as having wings. also not correct is option c because the simile is not giving the tractors human qualities.

the answer is b it links the tractors to flies to show how quickly the tractors move
