A simile is a figure of speech that is used to explicitly compare two elements of a different kind. Within this excerpt, the explicit comparison is:

<em>his brown skin hung in strips </em>

<u><em>like ancient wallpaper,</em></u><em>  </em>

<em>and its pattern of darker brown </em>

<u><em>was like wallpaper:</em></u>

Therefore, the statement that best describes the effect of simile on the overall meaning in this excerpt is C. It compares the fish's skin to wallpaper to support the image of a shabby but admirable fish because it conveys the image of a ragged, damaged but <em>tremendous</em> fish.

Helppp asapp!! Which three of the following lines from the excerpt directly develop the idea that things are a burden?
zheka24 [161]

Options B, E, and H are the ones that manage to develop the idea that things, objects inside a house are a burden.

These options are:

  • B. There was nothing in the house to demand care to claim attention consciousness with its insistent and change in companionship
  • E. This did not have to be taken down and put up in a arranged and dusted and cared for
  • H. If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become!

The text shows how the narrator when arriving at a house, with very little furniture and objects, feels at peace and happy.

She doesn't feel the need to furnish the house, because she thinks it would end the peace the house provided.

The house established a calm that she had never felt before and she began to realize that this was because the house did not promote the obligation to clean, care and preserve the objects, as this was a great burden.
