Explanation:

Without knowing further details of the passage or book, we can only guess.  With that being said, the author may have used the simile to describe how as the night progresses, it gets darker, as if the security blanket was covering the area.

Maybe something like this.  Good luck.

Cheers.

Answer:

Beacause the author is trying to describe how night time is really like, a pitch black secrity blanket is very dark compared to the night time. So the author is comparing both of them to the same topic.

Hope it helps you out

1. Twelfth Night contained a lot of figurative language. What is it?
strojnjashka [21]

When a person says that a drama like Twelfth Night contained <em>a lot of </em>figurative language, this means:

  • C. A form of writing where the writer uses exaggeratedly complex sentences to convey a meaning that could have been conveyed through a much simpler sentence.

Figurative language has to do with the various ways through which a writer expresses himself and his thoughts by making use of more complex terms rather than much simpler ones.

With this in mind, when a person says that a drama was written and contained a lot of figurative language, then he simply means that there were complex words used. Most times these are used forr dramatic effect or to increase the appeal to the audience.

Some examples of figurative language includes: simile, metaphor, pun, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
