Answer
1. A
2. B
Explanation
I picked the answer A because in the sentence “The air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheek.” it included a simile which is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox ), and in the sentence there was a word that shows there is a simile, which is "like a flat blade or ice" and there was also personification which was "The air was deadly cold". I picked answer B because the statement "someone … who is just exactly right”, "Like you." seems supicous in my eyes.

Meaning said character had some prior knowledge, so we can assume he is familiar with the basic science of electricity.
Answer:
6. What are you buying?
7. Do you play basketball?
8. What have you become?
9. What do they have?
10. What is she going to take.
Explanation:
6. I wrote this answer for the sixth one because it refers to ‘ What is she buying?’
7. Because the given sentence is already a question.
8. This is because the question refers to ‘ what have you become?’ because the second person will always say ‘ I have’ instead of ‘You have’.
9. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What do they have?’
10. This is because the sentence refers to ‘ What will she take?’
