The spectator thrived on the sights and sounds of this magical place. On the edge of his seat, he waited for contact to be made.

Then, it happened! Like a rocket, the ball scorched the wind, traveling past the mound and above the outstretched gloves of the outfielders. It soared over the fence and beyond the scoreboard. At that moment, the conversations melted into a single roar. Time stood still, as the baseball was catapulted into another world. Like a rocket, the ball scorched the wind . . .

Answer:

The literary technique that is being used in this description from the passage is a simile. So the right option is A.

Explanation:

To make a certain description more vehement or lifelike, a simile is used. It is a figure of speech that compares one thing with another thing of a separate kind to bring in that effect. Here, in the passage, the simile is "Like a rocket, the ball scorched the wind." The speed of the ball (one thing) is compared to that of a rocket which is another thing of a different kind. The effect of the ball hit at a game is described using a simile, followed by where it lands and the audience's reaction.
