Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech used to compare something with a different thing. They are often used by writers to make a text more descriptive and entertaining.
Similes commonly follow the same format so they’re easy to identify in a sentence.
There are two types of simile:
1. Those that use the word ‘as’. Such is the case in this example.
The battle between Beowulf and Grendal was aggressive. It was violent and displayed the strength between the masculine figures. It was the force between good and evil. The narrator has Christian views that is clearly demonstrated through this battle. It is stated that Beowulf received his strength that defeated Grendal by God.
The correct answer is option A. "the beginning". In literature, a falling action is defined as the events that happens right after the climax has ended. In the beginning of "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe the narrator addresses the audience to explain why he is gonna lose is life tomorrow, this implies that the story starts when the climax has ended and the narrator is gonna explained what happened.
