Momma's horrible snake-woman voice came out again and said, 'If you ever, ever . . . '

A metaphor is a comparison of two things without using like or as. In this sentence Momma's voice is being compared to that of a snake-woman. It is showing her disappointment in whatever her child did. The other options are all similes. They compare two things, just like a metaphor, but they use the word "like" which is indicative of a simile.

Luden [163]

Yes. I will describe her living situation as wretched. This is because her living in abject filth and squalor denotes that she is very poor, unpleasant, miserable and unable to provide basic life's necessities. These are the marks of wretchedness.

Filth refers to something that is dirty, offensive and unpleasant. Squalor also means the condition or state of being extremely dirty and unpleasant. This happens as a result of poverty or neglect. These characteristics sends out the message that anyone in this type of living condition is wretched.

How do you evaluate a text while proofreading?
andrezito [222]
While you are proofreading the text for grammar mistakes, you could evaluate the text by asking yourself the following questions.
 
What is the main idea?
What is the writer trying to say?
What rhetorical devices does the author use?
Did the writer organize his essay so that the reader will not be confused?
Was the writer able to bring about his point?
Did the introduction help start off the essay?
Did the writer conclude appropriately?
Did the writer use appropriate transitions to link ideas?

It will be hard evaluating and proofreading an essay at the same time as humans cannot multitask. I suggest doing them both separately.
