Answer 2

Correct Question:

she was so tired last night that she slept like........... until 10 o clock.

A. a log

B. death

C. a squirrel

D. a hill

Answer: a log

Explanation:

• Sleeping like a log is a proverb which is used to describe someone sleeping very soundly or deeply.
• It also refers to their immobility due to deep sleep which means that even if you want to wake them up, it would take a lot of effort like rolling over a log.
• Since the descriptive starts with like it is used as a simile in the sentence.
• A squirrel is a light sleeper and hence this descriptive will not be used.
• Death is also very inappropriate to use since the sentence clearly specifies the time when she wakes up.
• A hill is not a moving thing but it will not be used to describe sleep.
