The answer is a simile. This is because similes compare two things (these things here are his life and the dusty yards) by using like or as (specifically here as).

The other ones don't make sense: nothing is being over exaggerated (hyperbole), there are no repeating consonants (alliteration), and there are no human characteristics being given to inhuman subjects (personification).

What information should a writer include in the applicability section of a policy document?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The information a writer should include in the applicability section of a policy document is:

Header, regarding information about the policy, title, effective date, revision date if applicable, approver's signature, and purpose statement.  

Explanation:

The reasons behind the answer are that in the first place the document has to provide information that would make the reading identify the policy, the topics it covers, who supported it, who approved it, the purpose statement as justification, and the revisions that were made to it as well as the date of effectiveness. Because all this data would allow the reader to contextualize with the topic and understand the whole scenario at a single glance.

Read the opening to Homer's The Iliad.
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The answer is: letter B, The falling out between Achilles and the son of Atreus.

Explanation:

The conflict that happened between "Achilles" and "Agamemnon" (the son of Atreus) boils down to a woman named "Briseis." Briseis was a concubine war prize for Achilles after the Trojan war. In the story of Iliad, Agamemnon was forced by Apollo to give up Chryseis (Agamemnon's slave). As a reward to giving up her slave, he demanded that Briseis should be rewarded to him. This angered Achilles because Agamemnon was stripping him of his reward. Thus,  this caused a war between them that killed many lives.

Clearly, the opening to Homer's Iliad shows the falling out between Achilles and Agamemnon (the son of Atreus).
