In my opinion, the correct answer is A. simile for stories Jamie makes up about himself. Simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing or phenomenon to another, with or without the conjunction "like" or "as". In this case, the comparison to a paper boat obviously refers to "stories about the real Jamie Sabin" that he sets adrift.

By the way, here is the excerpt:
<span>Inside the bus, in his summer Class-A uniform with its brass glitter and infantry-blue shoulder cordon, Jamie Sabin was going home. Fort Benning would be a fading dream; Preston, Virginia, a place unknown, his future. He was in between, fumbling with puzzle pieces, making up stories about the real Jamie Sabin. Each of these he set adrift like a paper boat on a shifting sea of daydreams. He did that encased in the drone and shudder of diesel pistons and hissing tires. Jamie Sabin was going home to a place unknown. </span>

What is the effect when Theseus volunteers?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Theseus sets himself up to battle the Minotaur.

Explanation:

This excerpt refers to a story "Cruel Tribute" from James Baldwin's collection of stories based on Greek mythology.

Basically, story goes as this; King of Crete's son was killed by Athenians. Now the King faced them with a choice: either he will destroy the Athens or Athenians will send him 7 men and 7 women each year as a tribute to Minotaur, a monster that lives in a labyrinth in Crete.

After many years, Theseus grew up and volunteered to sail to Crete as one of the 7 men with the goal to kill the beast and end this cruel tradition.
