I would say C: Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people in funny ways
3 out total for each team until they switch
The scores on the paper the character is holding shows that he is smart, but he's about to walk off of the edge because he's wasn't watching where he was going, this implies that he is not making a smart choice by staring at his paper and walking without paying any attention to where he is going. So it's ironic because it shows that he's smart making a not so smart choice.
Hope this helps!!
