Answer:
In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with
D. name.
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Greek poet Homer. Not much is known about Homer. It is believed that he was born between the 12th and the 18th centuries. His place of birth is also unknown.
In "The Odyssey", the epic hero Odysseus is trying to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. On his way, he and his ship crew end up in a land filled with one-eyed giants known as Cyclopes. In the passage, Odysseus has deceived a Cyclops by telling him his name was Nobody. Now that he has hurt the Cyclops, when others ask him who hurt him, all the monster can say is "Nobody hurt me."
<u>In the line "to see how like a charm the name deceived them," we have an example of simile. Simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the help of words such as "like" or "as". In this case, the two things being compared are "charm" and "name". The name worked like a charm to deceive the Cyclopes.</u>
