The answer is:  [A]:  "figurative language" . 
________________________________________________
         Specifically, a "simile" is being used—that is, a comparison of two unlike things using "like" or "as":  
<span>________________________________________________
   "beard and hair hung straight down like seaweed"  ;
________________________________________________
and a "similie" is a type of "figurative language". 
________________________________________________
Technically speaking, "alliteration" , which is: choice:  [C] , is being used, which is a type of figurative language:  "hair hung" ;  "straight...seaweed"; 

However, the best answer choice—and correct answer choice—is:
___________________________________________________
   [A]:  "figurative language" .
___________________________________________________

The children in the district are so poor and some of them so pathetic that I suppose the struggle to live has been so great you could not think much about what you fed the mind, but I came away feeling that right there, in one of the biggest and richest states in the country, we had a big area that needed books and needed libraries to help these schools in the education of the children, and, even more, to help the whole community to learn to live through their minds.

What do we mean whenwe say plural form of noun​
Nostrana [21]

One person, place or thing is a singular noun. Having more than one things, or having multiple people or places, that's referring to plural nouns.

For example,

  • One school = singular
  • Two schools = plural

We simply add s to the end of the noun for a lot of cases to make it a plural form. Though sometimes you'll have something like this

  • One cross = singular
  • Two crosses = plural

Note how we add on 'es' instead of simply 's'. This is so won't have a string of 's' letters at the end, and it adds on another syllable as well.

Some nouns are the same whether singular or plural. Such examples are

  • fish
  • deer
  • sheep

So you could say something like "I caught one fish yesterday" or "The biologist estimates there are about 200 fish in the lake".
