read the paragraph. then select the correct answer.
did you know the electricity powering your video games and phone chargers is like a river of tiny particles called electrons that are zooming through wires? this electric current rushes through the hidden wires in your walls the same way water rushes through the pipes to your sink. without these invisible streams of electrons, none of your favorite devices would work.
in this paragraph, the word \current\ means \flow of electricity.\ which words from the paragraph help the reader understand the denotation of \current\?
\like a river of tiny particles\

one of your favorite devices\
\video games and phone chargers\
\hidden wires in your walls\

Explanation:

The phrase "like a river of tiny particles" uses a simile to compare the electric current (flow of electricity) to a river (which has a flow). This helps the reader understand the denotation of "current" as a flow. The other options ("none of your favorite devices", "video games and phone chargers", "hidden wires in your walls") do not relate to the concept of flow which is key for understanding "current" as "flow of electricity".

Answer:

"like a river of tiny particles"
