An example of a simile is the following:
"The tree was as thin as a hound dog."
As in the sentence above, a simile is a figure of speech which compares two different things, in order to make the description more intense or forceful. Another example could be:
"The man is as tall as a giraffe."

Answer:
OD To make Gregor seem less connected to his parents.
Explanation:
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" revolves around the transformation of Gregor Samsa into an insect, making him alienated and reclusive of his own family. Moreover, the story delves into the aloofness, alienation, change, and the importance of family relations in an individual's life.
As given in the question, the two translations of the same text make a different aspect of the story and its characters. While Joachim Neugroschel's translation addressed the parents using the article "the", David Wyllie's translation used the possessive pronoun "his" to refer to Gregor's parents. This difference in referring to the parents is that while <u>Wyllie's version shows a close bond between the parents-son, Neugroschel presents a rather disconnected relationship between Gregor and his parents</u>. He seems to address or mention the parents in such a way that they feel no connection to their son, who has changed.
This use of "the" for the parents instead of "his" seems to show the weak or rather strained connection between Gregor and his parents. Thus, the <u>correct answer is option D</u>.
Answer:
Déjà vu
Explanation:
Déjà vu is a French word that literally means "already seen." People who experience Déjà vu usually get a momentarily weird feeling of being familiar with something that they ought not to be familiar with. Indeed, they ought not to be familiar with that thing because it is actually their first time being in the location, situation or event.
The feeling is not different from Maurice's case because he is visiting a foreign city for the first time but somehow momentarily experience a weird feeling of being familiar with the city's landscapes which is actually foreign to him.
