The use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand

English

This question is incomplete because the excerpt is missing; here is the excerpt:

In a smithy   one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze  plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam-  the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.

The answer to this question is D. How hot the spear actually is

Explanation:  

The purpose of the epic simile is to make an extensive comparison between two elements of ideas. This differs from regular simile because it uses many details or lines to make the comparison. In the excerpt presented, the author uses an epic simile to compare the actin of the spike entering the eye of the cyclops with the action of putting a hot metal in a cold tub through details such as "white-hot axehead... in a cold tub" or "that eyeball hissed around the spike". Moreover, the purpose of using this epic simile is to emphasize how hot the spike is, which allows the reader to imagine the reaction of the cyclops as the hot spike enters its eye.

Explanation:

Psychological suspense is a genre within crime fiction that can, and does, encompass myriad subgenres, making it difficult to classify definitively.

Which part of this excerpt from "Cryptozookeeper" by Robb Sherwin indicates the use of second-person point of view?The corner of
Nana76 [90]

Cryptozookeeper is an interactive fiction game written by American developer Robb Sherwin in 2011. Cryptozookeeper was written in the cross-platform language Hugo and runs on Windows, Macintosh OS-X, and Linux computers. Cryptozookeeper was released under a Creative Commons license and contains more than 12 hours of game play.

Cryptozookeeper combines both traditional elements of story-based Interactive Fiction while including fighting elements. In the game, players assume the character of William Ezekiel Vest and must splice together DNA samples to form a stable of fighting cryptids, all while solving puzzles in the off-kilter town of Christmas City.

Second person is a point of view ,how a story is told, where the narrator tells the story to another character using the word 'you.' The author could be talking to the audience. We can easily identify it by the use of 'you,' 'you're,' and 'your.

The sentence from this excerpt from "Cryptozookeeper" by Robb Sherwin that indicates the use of second-person point of view is:
