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.

Presume that Hamlet did know that Polonius was listening to his talk with Ophelia. What sentence do you think Hamlet might have
Nonamiya [84]
All the things that Hamlet said after he asked Ophelia where her father was is already directed to Polonius. He already knew that Polonius was in the room, eavesdropping. 
"Are you honest?", "Are you fair?" are the lines which Ophelia did not really understand why he was asking. This means that these lines are directed to Polonius.
"It hath made me mad" was said for them to believe that he's really crazy.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

D) I tried to drive before the light turned red, but stopped when it did

E) I tried to drive when the light was still yellow, but stopped when it turned red.

Explanation:

Given the fact that the question is incomplete and example 2 (which is said to be a garbled sentence, confusingly written) was not given, we can assume that it was talking about a person trying to beat the red light.

With this in mind, the two revisions below that would clarify its meaning are options D and E because they make the most sense.
