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.

A persuasive essay can be based on anything about which a person may have an opinion or that one can make a clear argument about. Since the C option tells us about an opinion and persuading us to build playgrounds rather than shopping malls that is why this can be put under the category of persuasive essays.

I believe the correct is the third option. It is important to preview sources before using them in your research because it reveals deeper concepts. Reading deeply the sources would allow you to have a deeper understanding of the sources and determine which parts of the sources are useful to your research.
