Question

pick out the words from the poem which suggest that pears are ripe​

Answer 1

Answer:

The pears are still hard but that's because like most pears, Orcas pears ripen off the tree. We put them in a cool, dark room and in a week or two they start to ripen, but not all at once, fortunately. They are ripe when they turn yellow and the area at the stem yields to light pressure.
