It would be comparison because it is asking what the relationship of the sentences are!
I would suggest D, Explore either taking a lighter workload or cutting back some work hours.
The imagery that Poe uses to help you hear, see, smell, and feel the sensations of being buried alive is like I could feel myself gasping for air as he described this scene to me. I could see myself in the middle of tons of dirt, smelling the dust. I could hear the dirt getting piled on top of me.
I believe that it is a metaphor because metaphors compare things without using the words like or as.
