In the short story ‘the Deep’ by Anthony Doerr, Tom is a young man with a serius heart disease that might not live longer.
The metaphors and similes are used in the story to show how Tom’s emotions got his best every time he was with Ruby. Because of his disease, he has been forbidden to have any excitement in life. When he meets Ruby it all changes, for she causes great exciting effects on him so he faints and is advised to think of something blue everytime to avoid the faints. This color became a metaphor to him to calm him down as a "calming sea in the turmoil of life".
Tom would feel "as if the whole sky was rushing through the open door into his mouth" or that "his blood was storming through its lightless tunnels" as metaphors showing his great strong feelings for her before his faintings or that his life only had meaning or 'light' because of her. Also a simile used, for example, when "he was trembling like a needle to a pole" showing his excitement in their adventures.
It can be understood by the use of the figurative languages (making impossible comparisons) in the story that he started to enjoy life and his best self only with her around. He would not care about anything else.

Answer:
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: 'All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.'

Answer:
C. Argues that diverse audience will interpret the same information differently.
Explanation:
The cultural approach interrogates the representation of shared beliefs and presents communication as a process that produces, maintains, repairs and transforms reality. This approach provides the lenses to look at the mass communication in a disarmingly simplistic manner and thus, making it a wonderful experience. It argues that reality does not change but it is the perceptions of people that change with time and treats the beliefs as secondary. Thus, it argues that different people will interpret the same thing differently owing to their distinct perceptions and neglects the realities to be encompassing and suggests that the reality is different for different people and there is no 'single' reality. The cultural approach portrays mass communication in a different light. Thus, it argues that different people will interpret the same thing differently owing to their distinct perceptions.
