I believe the correct answer is D. complexity of character.
A is incorrect because realist writers didn't believe in destiny; B is incorrect because not all realist novels have social trials; C is incorrect for the same reason - not all realist novels have tragic events. Therefore I would pick D, because complex characters reflect reality and what exists in our actual lives.
Answer:
To offer a description of the snake
Explanation:
The adjectives “slippery” and “slimy” are alliteration. Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, so in this case we have “slippery” and “slimy”, with the repetition of the “s” consonant sound. Therefore the alliteration “slippery, slimy” is describing the snake.
Onomatopoeia is literary device that copies natural sounds.
A simile is a comparison between two things using as or like.
Metaphor is a direct comparison between two things without the use of ‘as’ or ‘like’
