Answer:
B. Dee is ashamed of how her mother looks and acts
Explanation:
In the excerpt, we see that her mom is a hardworker. big-boned and breaking ice and knocking bulls. On television however, the mom Dee shows has perfect skin, is witty, is a whole lot slimmer, and has shiny hair. That means Dee's ashamed of how her mom looks and acts.

I believe it would be to inform, the particular excerpt isn't really informing about anything, and its not persuading the reader to do anything, simply attempting to entertain the reader with a story.
1. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.
-Personification is shown in this excerpt, specifically in the line "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Because the author is giving human like characteristics to the light.
2. Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!
- The line "for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete" uses a metaphor because the vents that take place aren't literally hell, but they are describing it in a way that makes it feels that way.
