Simile is a figure of speech that uses the words, ‘like’ or ‘as’ when comparing one thing to another. This makes the sentence more intense or definite. For example, she was brave as a lion. So for this question, the answer is “He gave the struggle his attention, as an idler might observe the feat of a juggler, without interest in the outcome.” Since it uses the word ‘as’ and was compared to an idler.

Which event from Grendel best demonstrates the human connection between Grendel and the king's men?
Alex
<span>The correct answer should be C. Beowulf's taunting of Grendel as he kils him. There's more to it however, as he continually shows his connection to humanity during their fight because he gets angry and infuriated showing that he does have some emotions and is not just a mindless beast that runs around and kills everyone.</span>

Can someone help me out on this question please?

Answer:

B) Alfonso wants others to notice him, and Amy is worried about what Robert  will think.

Explanation:

In the first passage, it's clear that Alfonso is very focused on what other people will think of him, causing him to do many things just to improve his appearance and what others think of him.

In the second passage, Amy constantly asks herself worrying questions, afraid of what Robert might think of her family's Chinese traditions.

Both demonstrate the theme that people often care about what others think of them.
