Leota spoke well about Mrs. Pike at first. However; all of that changed when Mrs. Pike recognized the petrified man. Mrs. Pike has used her perception or insight to see through the disguise of the Petrified Man' she and Leota had seen at a travelling freak show. The man is a fugitive r apist from California, with a price of five hundred dollars on his head, and Mrs Pike hasrecognized his photograph in a crime magazine owned by Leota. Mrs. Pike wins the reward and Leota is jealous. Leota was disappointed and upset that she did not find the wanted ad before Mrs. Pike (Lesson-"The Petrified Man"). The fact that Leota is jealous and gets angry shows howpetty she it because of not figuring out who the petrified man was and thus not receiving the reward. This was her own fault.

Answer:

She floated around the room so easily she

could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion

She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile

She floated around the room, moving in no

specific direction - Metaphor.

Explanation:

A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"

This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.

A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.

In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.

Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.

In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.
