Explanation:
Fewer is used for things that can be counted such as, kids, chairs, balloons, etc...
Less is used for singular mass nouns
Here’s a tip: A good way to test that a noun is truly uncountable is to try making a plural out of it.
<u>Example:</u> I told Cookie Monster to drink fewer/less <em><u>milks</u></em> or he would get sick?
Because Milk is a liquid, we can't count it. Making 'less' the proper word choice

Answer:
D. simile
Explanation:
The literary device used in this quote from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is simile.
From the quote, there is comparison of "the agents that have power to shake and pluck" with "a wind that tosses curtains of a pavilion". The comparison is carried out with the use of "as".
Simile is a figure of speech used in the comparison of two things with use of "like" and "as". It makes the comparison more emphatic and vivid. Simile is different from metaphor because it uses <em>as</em> and <em>like</em> in comparing things whereas metaphor doesn't use <em>as</em> and <em>like </em>to compare things.
