I may be wrong but i think it’s A
Answer:
The literary technique that is being used in this description from the passage is a simile. So the right option is A.
Explanation:
To make a certain description more vehement or lifelike, a simile is used. It is a figure of speech that compares one thing with another thing of a separate kind to bring in that effect. Here, in the passage, the simile is "Like a rocket, the ball scorched the wind." The speed of the ball (one thing) is compared to that of a rocket which is another thing of a different kind. The effect of the ball hit at a game is described using a simile, followed by where it lands and the audience's reaction.
True, the ancient Byzantium were soon to be called the Ancient Romans when the Byzantine Empire fell.
