Answer: D)  Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." In the given excerpt, Kate Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot, in the phrase "That was the way all the Aubignys fell in love, as if struck by a pistol shot."

<span>D) Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot.</span>

 

Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey. What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the best image understood by the most readers.  Because not everyone may have the same perspective of just how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love, the use of a simile would work well.  As such, to describe something that might be known to readers (a pistol shot) and compare that to the quickness of their falling in love, the readers may begin to understand just how quickly they fall in love.

Hi! Remember that I told you I like Norah Jones? She <u>is an amazing singer</u> (predicate noun/nominative). She also <u>writes the deepest, most beautiful lyrics</u> (predicative adjective, compound).  Besides, she <u>started singing very young</u> (predicative adjective), she <u>was only seven years old</u>! (predicate noun). I recommend you to listen to her first album, and hopefully you will talk to me about your favorite singer, too.

Bye!
