Fiction authors often use history to inspire their stories, but, for the sake of entertainment, they don’t always adhere to the facts. Which of the sentences below go beyond the facts in order to add interest to the story? Select all that apply.


(1) But would the plane’s maiden voyage also be its last?


(2) The biplane ran along a downhill track to gain enough speed to launch.


(3) Station men carried the aircraft back to the start of the track, where the brothers made minor repairs.


(4) This flight was no less harrowing for Emelia than the first one, but she put her faith in her uncles’ ingenuity.


(5) As Uncle Wilbur rushed to the accident site, she feared the worst, not only for her uncle but for the machine!


(6) The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air like a glorious mechanical bird.


(7) At the turn of the 20th century, brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright tried something extraordinary in the budding field of aviation.

Answer:

6. The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air like a glorious mechanical bird.

Explanation:

This sentence is personification, or maybe a simile. Obviously, the plane didn't actually soar into the air like a "glorious mechanical bird". This is added for a comedic/entertaining effect.

Simply, it could've been put, without the entertainment factor, as "The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air." That is descriptive enough, however with the added simile, it creates a funny and comedic tone.

Also, I like your pfp.

Answer:

The plane zoomed down the tracks, sped off the end, and soared up into the air like a glorious mechanical bird.
