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>

Which of the following sentences is a declarative sentence? What will they think of next? We live in an amazing time. I simply a
oee [108]
There are four types of sentences.  I'll list them below.

Interrogative sentences are questions: statements that end in a question mark (?).  "What will they think of next?" is an interrogative sentence, as you can see from the question mark, so we can rule this one out.

Exclamatory sentences are statements that end in an exclamation point (!).  "I simply adore cheese!" is one, because of its exclamation point, so this one isn't declarative either.

Now, things get a little trickier.  There are two types of sentences that end in a period (.): imperative and declarative sentences.

Imperative sentences are commands--telling someone to do something.  Which is imperative?  "Please tidy your room."  "We live in an amazing time."  Obviously, "Please tidy your room" is an order, and so is imperative.

The only sentence left is "We live in an amazing time."  This has to be a declarative sentence, which is simply a statement that ends in a period.  This is a statement, and it ends in a period, so this sentence is a declarative sentence.

Answer: We live in an amazing time.
