Answer:

The author's use of simile:

B. It helps the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. A simile needs help of words such as "as" or "like".

In the text, the discovery of planets and exoplanets was compared to billiard balls in a pool game. First, discovering planets was similar to a regular game, in which it is easy to see and count the balls. But, <u>as more and more exoplanets were discovered, scientists could no longer run tally.</u> That is why it was like a pool player making a big, smashing break: planets, like the billiard balls, were everywhere. The text moves on the describe it as an <u>"inordinate number"</u>. Therefore, <u>we can say safely say the simile is being used to help the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.</u>

HHHHHEEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!! What is the MAIN conflict of the story? How does it drive the plot? How does it shape Buck’s c
RoseWind [281]
The main conflict is Buck fighting against his masters and his development from a tame dog into a wild wolf. This drives the plot because it shows the life of Buck as he is exposed to the harshness of the world from his first taste of abuse to his first life and death dog fight and his being punished for the wildness that is in him to the end where he buckles under the influence of the wild. This shapes Buck's characterization because in the beginning of this story, he is a tame, gentle giant who lived in the south. A pretty soft dog who didn't have anything to worry about. However, this changes from the first time a man hits him and his first dog fight. The conflict is resolved In the end by Buck's dearly loved master being killed. After this, Buck throws the law of the club away, and kills many Indians, those who killed his loved master. After he does this, he goes to run with his wild brothers and caves to his instincts and  becomes a wild wolf.
