which figurative phrase in the passage shows that students are looking forward to driving
a. with other students for the bus to carry them to school
b. when a learners permit might free them from the boring bus ride
c. an unexpected breeze greeted them on their walk home
d. a glimmer of excitement began to move in brock and it boiled up

Explanation:

To determine which phrase shows students looking forward to driving, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Describes taking the bus, not related to looking forward to driving.
• Option B: Mentions a learner's permit freeing from the bus ride, but it's a statement about the permit's effect, not a figurative phrase showing excitement for driving.
• Option C: Talks about a breeze greeting them, which is about the weather, not related to driving excitement.
• Option D: "a glimmer of excitement began to move in Brock and it boiled up" uses figurative language (glimmer, boiled up) to show the growing excitement about driving (implied by the context of looking forward to driving, as excitement about getting to drive would be associated with this).

Answer:

D. a glimmer of excitement began to move in Brock and it boiled up
