D. name
Answer:
In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with
D. name.
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem "The Odyssey", by Greek poet Homer. Not much is known about Homer. It is believed that he was born between the 12th and the 18th centuries. His place of birth is also unknown.
In "The Odyssey", the epic hero Odysseus is trying to return home after fighting in the Trojan War. On his way, he and his ship crew end up in a land filled with one-eyed giants known as Cyclopes. In the passage, Odysseus has deceived a Cyclops by telling him his name was Nobody. Now that he has hurt the Cyclops, when others ask him who hurt him, all the monster can say is "Nobody hurt me."
<u>In the line "to see how like a charm the name deceived them," we have an example of simile. Simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the help of words such as "like" or "as". In this case, the two things being compared are "charm" and "name". The name worked like a charm to deceive the Cyclopes.</u>

Answer:
This passage reveals that:
C) Slavery was a taboo subject, to be avoided in polite conversation.
Explanation:
Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845. In the book, Douglass tells the story of his life as a slave and the measures he took to learn how to read and write.
From the passage we are studying here, it can be easily inferred that slavery was a taboo issue in conversations. Even though it was a reality - and a horrific one -, people were uncomfortable when it was brought up. According to Douglass, "grownup people" were discussing it, but whenever he brought it up with white boys around his age, they were troubled, bothered by it. Maybe they were suddenly and sharply reminded that that human being they were talking to, unlike themselves, did not have any freedom. His life was set in a very different direction than theirs. Being reminded of that was probably uncomfortable.
