However, the text changed in pacing when it wrote: "The interesting thing about the king cobra is that it is the smartest snake on earth. It can see 330 feet, and its venom contains powerful neurotoxins. This new information about the cobra's characteristics changed the narrative.
B. Mr. White has to live with the knowledge that his actions caused his sons death.
6. D. Personification. This is because the phrase gives the limbs of trees a description that makes it sound alive.
7. A. Simile. This is because similes are compared using like or as, and the sentence has the word like.
Hope this helps!
