The earlier version didn't have all the words in it
Answer:
Security seems to indicate a state or a feeling of absence of danger now and in the future, for oneself and one's own property and for one they have responsibility for, or have compassion for. In other words, it is being aware that a certain action will not cause future harm. The assumption of knowledge is fundamental from an epistemological point of view, since a system can evolve without giving rise to unwanted states, but it cannot be considered safe for this. Only scientific knowledge, therefore based on repeatable observations, can guarantee a sensible security assessment.
Total security is obtained in the absence of dangers. In an absolute sense, this is a concept that is difficult to translate into real life even if the application of security regulations makes the occurrence of harmful events and accidents more difficult and always translates into a better quality of life.

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>
