The correct answer is B) Geena sadly watched the rain fall.

Explanation:

A misplaced modifier occurs if the modifier of a noun (for example, an adjective) is placed away from the noun it describes, which leads to confusing sentences. In the case of the sentence "Geena watched the rain fall sadly" there is a misplaced modifier because the adverb "sadly" has been separated from the verb "watched" it modifies. Due to this, it seems it is the rain the one that falls sadly. In this context, the appropriate way to correct this mistake is to place the modifier "sadly" right before the action it modified "watches" and therefore the correct sentence is "Geena sadly watched the rain fall".

A direct comparison between two unlike things
Dmitry [639]
If they're unlike things - it would be a metaphor.
When it comes to similes - you use words such as like or as when describing things. and since it emphasizes "unlike" things - metaphor would be the way to go.
It's quite hard sometimes when it comes for deciphering the two if you're familiar with the rule - so just remember: Simile: like or as.
Metaphor: extreme exaggeration, or a comparison without using like or as.
I hope all is well, and you pass! (: Good luck, rockstar! (:
