Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used to compare two things using "like" or "as".

The line “Their wives run around like banshees” is from a poem "Alone" by Maya Angelou.

It is a simile comparing the wives of the millionaires described in the poem to banshees.

Banshees are mythical Irish spirits who scream loudly and are seen when someone is going to die.

This simile was employed to show that the wives are unwanted and not very nice to be with.
