Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note". Well, I was perfectly honest and square with her; told her I hadn

't a cent in the world but just the million-pound note she'd heard so much talk about, and it didn't belong to me, and that started her curiosity; and then I talked low, and told her the whole history right from the start, and it nearly killed her laughing. What in the nation she could find to laugh about I couldn't see, but there it was; every half-minute some new detail would fetch her, and I would have to stop as much as a minute and a half to give her a chance to settle down again. Why, she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed; I never saw anything like it. I mean I never saw a painful story--a story of a person's troubles and worries and fears--produce just that kind of effect before. Which rhetorical device is demonstrated in the excerpt? A. hyperbole B. allusion C. metaphor D. oxymoron

Like burnt out touches by a sick man's bed
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

"Like burnt-out candles alongside a sick man's bed" compares something to something else. Whatever it is, it is compared to torches that have burned out. "Like" was used to support the comparison. Its goal is to compare one or more qualities of a burnt-out flame to anything else. Using supporting words is termed simile. They are a fairly frequent figure of speech, like metaphors, except that metaphors do not include support words.
