The correct answer is option D.
Simile is a figure of speech in which two things are compared. It uses words such as <em>like </em>and <em>as</em>. The simile in the example sentence is the phrase "you swooned like an old lady."
A metaphor is a direct comparison. For example, "you are an old lady." A paradox is a statement which contradicts itself. For instance, "false truth." Finally, personification is the attribution of human characteristics to something that is not human, or the personification of an abstract human feature. For example, "the bear spoke to the young girl."
It is a gerund. If we added the preposition 'by' like, 'by sprinting the gazelle outran...', we'd know better that prepositions, the case with 'by' for instance, went with gerunds.
<u>Answer:</u>
"You don't get it, sister. I cannot drive a Chinese model. If I did, people would think I am cheap and laugh at me."
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the short story, "The Bane of the Internet" by Ha Jin, this statement is written by Yuchin in an e-mail to her sister (who is also the narrator), demanding her to lend Yuchin a sum of $10,000 so that she could buy a foreign car, even if it was doubly rated (as the narrator mentions), because she didn't want to appear "cheap" by getting a Chinese car which was priced less. This sentence shows her excessive concern with her image and status, and hence clearly illustrates her vanity. Her sister realises that Yuchin had also caught the auto mania.
The other options are incorrect because:
- The first one shows her need to be above or impress her ex-husband, which was not the real reason she was buying an expensive car, as the narrator later realises.
- The second one shows her envy towards her niece for owning a car.
- The last one illustrates her adamant and headstrong nature, bordering to manipulation, but not vanity.
