The correct answer is D. Ad hominem
Explanation:
As other fallacies, Ad hominem fallacy implies a faulty reasoning or argument. in the case of Ad Hominem, this occurs because the speaker attacks his/her opponent traits, and does not provide any evidence to refute the opponent's argument.
This fallacy occurs in "Gracie is the worst class president ever. she doesn't even know how to dance" because the speaker does not explain why Gracie is not a good president, instead the speaker attacks Gracie by pointing out she does not know how to dance, which is not related to the Gracie being a bad president.
Direct, direct, indirect, indirect, direct.

Figurative language is most common in poetry, but poetry does not always explore thought in a concise way, more often it tried to convey a feeling or an impression than treats the subject in detail.
Therefore I would choose a "novel" - it can use figurative language (unlike exploratory essay), but it also deals with ideas and thought is a profound, comprehensive way (but note that some poems will also do that!)
Answer: C) When Alex came home, his parents were waiting up for him.
Explanation: a misplaced modifier is a word, phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes. Because of the separation, sentences with this error often sound awkward, ridiculous, or confusing. In the sentence A, it isn't clear who was driving (the bears or the speaker), in sentence B, it isn't clear who was snoring (the alarm or the speaker), in sentence D it is unclear what was eight feet long (the surfboard or the store), so the sentence that uses a modifier correctly, is the corresponding to option C.
