In my opinion, the correct answer is A. simile. You can see that in the construction "four men (...) like burglars". A simile is actually a comparison that always follows this formula: A is like B. It usually uses the conjunctions (like/as), but sometimes, in its shorter form, it doesn't even need them. We don't see a metaphor here - every word is used in its literal meaning. We don't see an irony either. As for syntax, it is not even a literary device.

The speaker says his beloved will live eternally because:

A. The beloved will be remembered as long as people can read this poem.

B. not complimentary enough.

<h3>What the speaker says in "Sonnet 18"</h3>

In "Sonnet 18", the speaker is complimenting the person he loves. He thinks that comparing her to a summer day will not be good enough, since she has more and better qualities:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate..."

The speaker also says, towards the end of the poem, that the person he loves will never die for she will be immortalized in the poem. As long as people read the poem, she will exist:

"So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

With the information above in mind, we can choose options A and B respectively as the best choices.

Trevor alludes the city of Gomorrah when talking about Alexandra as he draws comparison.

<h3>City of Gomorrah as described in the Bible</h3>

Gomorrah, as described is a notoriously sinful cities in the biblical book of Genesis, destroyed by “sulfur and fire” because of their wickedness.
