The simile used is "Momma's voice got strange, hissing like a snake."

This detailed simile, used when Wilona is enraged at Byron for playing with matches, underlines Wilona's rage.

The snake, in particular, is an animal associated with malice and wickedness, therefore comparing Wilona to a snake emphasizes how fed up she is with Byron and his pranks.

Only long after this do Daniel and Wilona resolve to take action against Byron once and for all.

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

A simile is a device of speech that compares two things explicitly. Similes vary from other metaphors in that they highlight the similarities between two items by employing comparison terms like;

  • "like,"
  • "as,"
  • "so," or
  • "than,"

On the other hand, metaphors generate an implicit comparison.

Inessa [10]
The answer to the Question is C: A Metaphor. Although Homer was known for his simile's and was credited with the creation of an epic simile, There is nothing in the passage that compared with his happiness. 

The passage shows as a metaphor for the sun being his happiness as it says his welcoming set the sun.

Janki Public School,

Ambika Vihar,

New Delhi,

14 May 2019

Dear Alexandra,

I am fine here. Hope you are also good there. I just wanted to discuss my experience of school with you. In this school, I am enjoying everything. My school began at 8:00 A.M. by morning assembly and some exercises. After that, we have a regular schedule of four periods and then lunch which is followed by the next four periods. In my school, we have Saturday off and we can go outside on Saturday from our school hostel. Our teachers do not scold or beat us if we by chance anyone forgets to complete the homework. Our teacher employes fun activities and virtual methods to teach us. I feel lucky that I got admission in this school. I would like to invite you to this school for your further studies.

Yours lovingly

Taizun
