Answer:

Letter B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Idioms are a type of figurative language, and they express a feeling and every word should be understood as a whole and the meaning is not literal. Idioms are also untranslatable and we can't find an example of this in the excerpt.

An onomatopoeia is a word that tries to imitate sounds of a person, animal, or thing, creating a sound effect to make the description more expressive. In the excerpt, we can't see any of them.

Personification is when an animal or thing is given human characteristics. There isn't anything like that in the excerpt.

A simile is intended to show similarities between two different nouns and it normally uses the words like or as. In this case, the speaker is comparing the board with house of cards build by a child when he says "like a house that..." making letter B the correct answer.

Answer:

In this short story by Ray Bradbury we can find many technologies similar to those we have today.

Explanation:

Here I will leave a list with the technological items in the story and their similar at present:

  • The voice of the clock in the room: Although we do not use a clock that tells us "time to get up" over and over again, it is very common to have an alarm clock with some personalized sound, we can even put some song for the cell phone alarm.
  • The breakfast oven that prepares the toasts: Today there are microwaves that you can program with a timer to turn them on.
  • The voice that speaks about the news and the bills pending payment: This could be similar to the alarms or reminders that we program on our cell phone, where we can write down from birthdays to due dates of bills.
  • The automatic garage door: Today there are automated doors that open at the push of a button.
  • The dishwashing machine: That exists today, with the only difference that each person must put dirty dishes there.
  • Mechanical mice: What resembles this today are electric vacuum cleaners, also programmable that one can leave to vacuum the house on their own.
  • The garden water jets: This is also something that is used today.
