The correct answer should be
Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;
Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,
Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom

Using like to compare something is a simile, which is why this should be one.

Answer: 1. Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom and 2. But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well.

Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in the comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, it uses the words "like" or "as" to make the comparison. In the given excerpt from "The Odyssey" by Homer, there are two examples of simile, the first one is in the phrase "Jove's heavenly daughter stood confess'd to sight;  Like a fair virgin in her beauty's bloom,  Skill'd in the illustrious labours of the loom" it compares Jove's daughter with a fair virgin. And the second one is "But this to me? who, like thyself, excel  In arts of counsel and dissembling well" it compares the abilities of the speaker to the one of another person.

Select the most plausible reason why Jackson includes the following sentence in "The Morning of June 28, 1948": "I had written t
cluponka [151]

The answer is between B and D.

The 300 villages in the Lottery are blindly obedient to a tradition that is years and years old. Some things have been dropped and others added and nobody quite knows why.

The beginning of June 28 is just as serene. There are all sorts of interpretations, but nothing hides Jackson's anger about blind tradition that would even sacrifice young children and accept it as being a "good sport."

Tilly is the only one who is justifiably upset. The stones are going to be about her and they will kill her. Being stoned in the Bible was a slow painful process. You weren't killed by being hit. You died by suffocation because the weight of the stones eventually was greater than what the lungs could push up and let down so you could continue breathing.

This stoning is less biological and more what you think stoning should accomplish -- death by loss of blood.  It is a horrible death. Everyone seems to take it for granted -- everyone but Tilly who had to endure it.

If you were writing an essay, you could easily defend A, B and D.  My choice is D, but I wouldn't discount B at all.

I’m pretty sure you don’t need a comma there. You would need a comma if it was like “Nakia likes to read comic books, magazines, and scary stories on the weekends.
