It might be said this paragraph shows "the damages caused by the lateral blast" (option D) because the reader gets to know that it can "shoot (..) pieces of rocks", "kill by impact, burial or heat" and to "knock entire forests". Nothing about prevention or causes is mentioned not even how to avoid it
Answer: hope this helps :)
Explanation:
I hear the ferocious wind howl with pride
the sky timidly poured, and as it cried
the sun fell like a leaf from a tree entering winter
causing chaos cutting deep like a splinter
I know it's rough but if I dare to be so bold
this weather is killing me, its far too cold
for unlike winter, summer is a kind neighbor
it has a warm heart and doesn't shy from a favor
the spring and fall are beautiful in between
not given enough attention by far but still seen
though leaves fall and colors change and fade
the sun will rise again and come out from the shade
An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.
The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.
To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.
And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.
In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res
