English Language & Literature — AI-generated practice question

Lencho compares the raindrops to new coins — the big drops to ten-cent pieces and the small ones to five-cent pieces. When hailstones fall, they resemble new silver coins, and his sons call them "frozen pearls."

This comparison reveals that Lencho is a simple, hardworking farmer who sees everything in terms of monetary value and livelihood. It shows his deep dependence on rain for income and his hopeful, optimistic nature — he views the rain as direct wealth for his family.

• The question has two parts: the comparisons (1 mark) and what they reveal about character (2 marks) — weight your answer accordingly.
• Name both comparisons: raindrops = coins, hailstones = silver coins / frozen pearls (directly from the text).
• For character, examiners expect: simple/farmer mindset, monetary dependence on crops, and optimism/hope — all inferred from the metaphors.
• Avoid over-explaining; keep it tight within 60–90 words.
