The portion of the text where a simile is used is "“She’s gone from sounding like the smoke detector” (Option B)

<h3>What is a simile?</h3>

A simile is a figure of speech in which one object is compared to another of a different sort in order to emphasize or make more vivid a statement (e.g. as hard as a rock).

Simile uses "as" and "like" to make comparison.

<h3>What are the various types of Simile?</h3>

The Homeric (or epic) simile and the conventional rhetorical simile are the two main forms of simile used in English.

<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>

One of the elements that stand out about the referenced poem by Barbra Crooker is it's title:

"Listening to Her Practice: My Middle Daughter, on the Edge of Adolescence, Learns to Play the Saxophone"

The title already gives away clues about what the central idea is in the poem.

The poem is about an observant parent who is narrating the changes in their daughter.

Besides the use of simile above, there is recurrent use of juxtaposition between baby-like looks and innocence and adult hood that the daughter is morphing into. Some of the lines from the poem that confirm the above are:

"Her hair, that halo of red gold curls,

has thickened, coarsened,

lost its baby fineness," [Lines 1-3]

"She's gone from sounding like the smoke detector

through Old MacDonald and Jingle Bells." [Lines 15 -16]

"Soon, she'll be a woman.

She's gonna learn to play the blues."[Lines 20-21]

Which of the following describes an advantage primary sources have over secondary sources for historians
kaheart [24]

Answer:

There is no answers (a, b, c, d) but here we go!

Explanation:

An advantage of a primary source is that it was written by a person who experienced the event that occurred at that time, so like a soldier's journal, while a secondary source is based upon research that might not be true, and written by a person who didn't witness that event.
