Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to one thing by mentioning another one. It allows an author to provide clarity by identifying similarities between two different ideas. In this case, the author is trying to compare the attitude of the biographer to the idea of postrating yourself before the mystery of a millionare. By using this phrase, the author wants to convey the obsession and fascination that the biographer felt for Vanderbilt.

Read the sentence from paragraph 10 of "Routine"
Doss [256]

The impact that the speaker's remark has on the story is this: C. It reinforces the need for the speaker to find the reasons to change from within.

<h3 /><h3>What is the impact of the speaker's remarks?</h3>

The speaker's remarks in the story point to the fact that often, we spend our time seeking solutions to problems that we hold the power to. In this passage, it is quite clear that Dorothy spent a lot of time seeking help from other sources when she had the power to effect the change that she sought.

This reinforces the point that sometimes, all we need is a critical evaluation of our present needs and introspection that will help us to resolve our problems by ourselves. So, instead of wasting time and resources seeking help in other places, we are supposed to look within to find the help that we seek.
