Answer:

A. Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that asserts that one element (person, animal, thing, quality, event, etc.) is similar to another element, not literally but figuratively. They are similar to similes except that metaphors do not use words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison.

The excerpt provided has a metaphor because it figuratively compares Clegg Simmons to "one smart cookie."

gladu [14]
In literature, mood is what evokes certain feelings or vibes from the text. It is usually referred to as the atmosphere of the book. It is used to make the reader feel some type of way. Example: if the book has the death of a dog in it, in that moment the mood would be sorrowful or mournful
