Answer:
Three similes from the story "Raymond's Run" are:
1. "I'll high-prance down 34th Street like a rodeo pony to keep my knees strong . . ."
2. ". . . but people ain't grateful, so now she hangs out with the new girl Gretchen, and talks about me like a dog . . ."
3. "He looks around the park from Gretchen like a periscope in a submarine movie."
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two different things with the purpose of stating a similarity between them. In that sense, a simile would be similar to a metaphor. The difference is that simile relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison, while the metaphor does not. For example: My mind is like a bird. → Comparing one's mind to a bird helps convey the sense of freedom. One is free to imagine and think just like a bird is free to fly.
With that in mind, we can see that the three answers above use simile to compare the characters' actions to something that will help convey how those actions are performed. For example, the narrator compares the way her teacher looks around with the way a periscope moves when searching around.
"Raymond's Run" is a short story by Toni Cade Bambara about the narrator, Squeaky, and her brother Raymond, who is a child with special needs.

Answer:
B.  The mother is upset at the rough nature of the father's "waltz" with their son.
Explanation:
Theodore Roethke's poem "My Papa’s Waltz" presents the speaker's image of his father by describing the relationship and memory he has of his father through the things they would do. But at the same time, the poem also presents the 'rough' nature of the father through his actions.
In the given lines, the speaker recalls how their dance in the kitchen made his mother unhappy. He reveals how 'horrific' and 'violent' their father-son dance was, and continues, saying<em> "My mother's countenance Could not unfrown itself." </em>This line suggests that the mother did not like the rough nature of the father's dance with their son, for in the continuing lines, the speaker reveals <em>"At every step you missed My right ear scraped a buckle." </em>He also revealed how <em>"the pans Slid from the kitchen shelf"</em> during their father-son dance.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
