Answer:

The answer above is correct. Letter b is indeed the best option.

Explanation:

In the excerpt we are analyzing here, we can note the use of simile by the author. Simile is a figure of speech used to make comparisons. It presents words such as "like" or "as". In the excerpt, the boy is compared to a fish in the following manner:

- [...] he could only be traced by the ripple he made, like a trout in a pool.

In the way the imagery is carried out in the passage, the boy becomes insignificant when he dashes into the prairie. Nature is magnificent. The boy is nothing but a thin line, a ripple between the flowers.

Answer:

B: It contains a simile; it reveals that the boy is small and insignificant on the vast prairie.

Explanation:

Simile is a comparison using like or as. The passage describes him as small and insignificant.

"He could hardly look over the wild oats, which tossed their gleaming bayonets in the wind, and when he dashed out into the blue joint and wild sunflowers, to bring the cattle into the road, he could be traced only by the ripple he made, <u><em>like</em></u><u> </u>a trout in a pool."
