It compares the hinges with something unfamiliar and scary.
Explanation:
A simile is a method for comparison of a thing with something different. It creates a realistic feeling to the situation, imagined or visualized distinctively.
Let us read the sentence from the story, as mentioned by the author.
"I pulled the heavy double doors open; the hinges squeaked like a platoon of lost ghosts."
The squeaky sound of the hinges because the door had not been used for a long time. The narrator is unfamiliar with what lies behind the door.
The hinges, compared to a platoon of lost ghosts, give a scary feeling to the sentence.
Hence, the answer is the second answer choice -
It compares the hinges with something unfamiliar and scary.
Answer:
He is upset.
Explanation:
Odysseus argues that Thersites is a peasant who has no right to speak out against kings and nobility. Odysseus goes on to say that Thersites lacks personal pride and respect since he refuses to battle. Furthermore, Thersites' lack of dignity is symbolized by his malformed look. Odysseus finishes his attack by smacking Thersites across the back with his scepter, creating a welt and tears to pour. All thought of Thersites coming home is put to rest after this public humiliation and branding. Soldiers must battle for pride and dignity. Only the mentally and physically deformed would argue differently.

Dear Bobett,
I saw and ordered your, “Out of
this World Bob ZA Alien” dolls online a few days ago. I received them in the mail today. I noticed it was supposed to come with seven
unique aliens. However, it came with seven
ThingamaBOBs instead.
Can you please send me the other
dolls in the set (Bob, Bobster, Bobbie, Bobetta, RoBOBert, and Bobcat)? If you want, I can send the extra six
ThingamaBOB dolls back.
Thank you for taking care of
this. I know I will enjoy the complete
Bob family!
Best Regards,

Answer:
With careful student pairings, academics would improve and new friendships would form.
Explanation:
Pathos is the appeal to emotions. Two of the sentences really appeal to the readers' emotions. The sentence about student pairings and the sentence about families complaining. The question though asks which uses pathos to support the claim that "A student tutoring program should be established so that peers can help one another." The last sentence about families complaining does not directly support the claim that peers can help one another. The cost benefit of a student-run program is just a side benefit.
