Answer:

B). To compare the speaker to a force of nature.

Explanation:

Simile is described as the literary device or figure of speech that is employed to compare two things with an aim to reflect similarity between them with the use of 'like' and 'as'.

Whitman's "Song of Myself" is illustrated as one of his most acknowledged works. The poem is chiefly inclined towards celebration of individualism(as the title suggests) and its capability to unite mystically and spiritually with the nature and individual self. Whitman employs different literary devices to create the intended effect efficiently and serve his purpose.

In the given excerpt, the purpose of the simile('I depart as air') is to 'establish the comparison between the speaker and force of nature' that highlights the 'transience' or 'brevity' of human life and ultimate union with the nature. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

Metamorphosis
german
Gregor was quite confused of how he changed in the dream therefore he was heavily affected by it and soon came to past. He felt sad when the raindrops pittered and pattered on the window pane which indeed matched his mood of how he was. But when his mother asked him if he wanted to go somewhere he replied in a forced but uncertain tone. Henceforth he felt partially full because of the meaning of how it had happened.

uysha [10]
The answer is Agression , and violence.
The main difference between the two acts is not in the actions per se, but   in Agression, the perpetrator may not really intended to harm others because his/her actions derived from their personal egos in order to appear as capable in order to increase their value. In violence on the other hands, the perpetrators tend to have a big intention to cause harms to their target.
