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, as more and more exoplanets were discovered, scientists could no longer run tally. 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 "inordinate number". Therefore, we can say safely say the simile is being used to help the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.

Pani-rosa [81]

c. metaphor

In the above passage, the figurative language that exists is in the form of the following words: “starless midnight of racism and war.” We know the figurative language is not a simile because similes will include the use of the words “as” or “like,” and these words are not present. We know the figurative language is not personification because personification gives human attributes to non-human things, and this is not occurring here. We also know the figurative language is not a hyperbole because a hyperbole is a type of exaggeration, and there does not appear to be an exaggeration here. Thus, we can conclude that the figurative language is a metaphor because a metaphor makes comparisons that are not literally applicable. That said, because there are technically no stars or times of day in racism and war, it can be deduced that the type of figurative language used is metaphor.
