One of the bolded words is: "the roar of a bulldozer..." and this is used to create imagery and dramatic effect of the careless action of the construction company and their apparent disregard for the gopher tortoise that is listed as a protected species.

Another bolded part is shown in: "the darkness hugs you tightly in its arms and you are gone" as imagery is used again as the speaker wants to be as visually descriptive as possible to show the audience just how helpless the tortoises were and how callous the construction company was.

<h3>What is Imagery? </h3>

This refers to the use of visually descriptive words to show and create a mental image in the minds of the readers about the thing that is being described.

Hence, we can see that another bolded part goes thus: <em>"yes—they were very responsible" </em>which makes use of sarcasm to show the irresponsibility of the construction company and also how they were responsible for the loss of over a dozen gopher turtles who called Open Prairie their home.

kherson [118]

Hello, I could probably answer it more surely if the question was provided in its original format. But for how it was presented, I believe the answer would be C. A callout.

A callout (or call-out) in publishing is a short excerpt within a bigger text, somehow highlighted to call the reader's attention out to that part, specially. It can be a short string of text with its words connected by lines, dots, arrows, or similar, a sentence in bold separated from the text, or written in a different format, usually in a larger font. - This one is very common in magazines and newspapers. (and I believe this is the type that was presented on this excerpt original format).

Fudgin [204]

New arrivals at one retirement community were told by its director: ""you are like pilgrims crossing the ocean to take up a new life."" this simile implicitly supports the author’s assumption that those moving to retirement communities feel uncertainty on the wisdom of departing from the past.

Satisfaction at gaining parental independence. Relief at getting out of challenging circumstances. Optimism about being around people who share your objectives.

The terms "like" or "as" are used to compare two dissimilar objects in a simile, which is a sort of metaphor. A simile is used to assist describe one thing by comparing it to another that may seem unrelated at first.
