Lately, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “br

oken” or “fractured” English. But I wince when I say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. Which best summarizes the central idea in the excerpt?
A. Tan is troubled by the way her mother uses the English language.
B. Tan is uncomfortable using negative terms to describe her mother’s English.
C. Tan has difficulty trying to explain what she means when she writes in English. D. Tan has found that the English language is lacking in descriptive word choices.

Hello!

The correct answer is, indeed, option B.

Ben growled when I walked into his room. He barked at me to close the door as he lumbered back to his desk. He is such a bear in

I believe the answer is B, an extended metaphor. 
It can't be A because similes are comparing two unlike things using the words "like" or "as", which will also eliminate D.
It can't be C because a personification is where an inanimate object is given human-like qualities. 

Throughout the entire passage, the author compares Ben to a bear and uses words such as "growled", "barked", "lumbered" which shows how the comparison between the two is prolonging throughout the passage.
