Answer 2

Answer:

What the simile adds to this passage is:

* a comparison between the sea and a cauldron

* a visual representation of the sea’s anger

Explanation:

The question is not complete since it does not provide the passage, here is the passage:

In travail, sobbing, gaining on the current,

we rowed into the strait – Scylla to port

and on our starboard beam Charybdis, dire

gorge of the salt sea tide. By heaven! when she

vomited, all the sea was like a cauldron

seething over intense fire, when the mixture

suddenly heaves and rises.

This passage from the Odyssey gives a very extensive and complete description of the elements that are part of the simile, by making the comparison of elements it also provides a very visual and clear representation of the sea, one of the key parts is the use of the line "all the sea was like a cauldron"
