Answer: D. Disappointment.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens, we can see a description of a long table with a tablecloth on it and a big object in the middle, which had a lot of cobwebs. Then we found out that the object is a wedding cake, which according to the excerpt's context, symbolizes disappointment, because with the fact that the cake is covered in cobwebs, we can infer that the wedding didn't happen.

Disappointment is what the cake mostly symbolizes. The female character is pointing to a wedding-cake. It has got full of cobwebs because she was not able to get married.

Match the types of supporting evidence to the examples. fact anecdote expert opinion emotional appeal Sarah's outcome illustrate
velikii [3]

First example: anecdote. The example suggests a narration, particularly through the words "outcome; left alone; etc". The situation also shows that either what preceeds or follows is a experience, that is an action.

Second opinion: expert opinion. This kind of supporting evidence is usually given by professionals, in this case a doctor. The word 'helpful' suggests it is an opinion rather than a fact.

Third example: fact. The use of the present simple tense and the fact that the information is specific shows that it is a fact.

Fourth example: emotional appeal. This kind of supporting evidence uses a variety of words full of emotion. In this example, emotional words include "pledge; striving; and vulnerable". The example appeals to emotions, which is the purpose of this type of evidence.

Ben growled when I walked into his room. He barked at me to close the door as he lumbered back to his desk. He is such a bear in
wariber [46]
I believe the answer is B, an extended metaphor. 
It can't be A because similes are comparing two unlike things using the words "like" or "as", which will also eliminate D.
It can't be C because a personification is where an inanimate object is given human-like qualities. 

Throughout the entire passage, the author compares Ben to a bear and uses words such as "growled", "barked", "lumbered" which shows how the comparison between the two is prolonging throughout the passage.
