Which technique does the author use most effectively to help readers understand the extreme nature of fleas' abilities?
Fleas are tiny, wingless insects known for surviving as parasites on warm-blooded animals. Although a flea is only a few millimetres long, its abilities far exceed what its size would suggest. A flea can go more than one hundred days without eating, a duration that would be fatal to any large mammal. A female flea consumes nearly fifteen times her own body weight in blood each day. Most astonishing of all is the flea's jumping ability: it can leap about two hundred times its own height. Scaled to human proportions, such a jump would launch a person high enough to clear a skyscraper.
