Answer:

Answer is B

Explanation:

The answer is B.  Tan is presenting the example <em>"limited English"</em>, which is just <em>one of many</em> other terms she heard before, to express how bad they seem. Because, when people deem those whose knowledge of the Mother Tongue <em>is not as the native speaker</em>, therefore is limited, they are defining everything as limited, even their speaking perceptions.

Arisa [49]

Well, the question does not include any information about was book or poem this comes from. However, hopefully this definition will help.

A simile is when two things are being compared using like or as. For example,  the warm rain was like taking a shower. In this case, the rain is being compared to a shower.

Hope this helps!
