The effect of the simile on the text is that it emphasizes what a disaster the narrator's performance at the talent show, as stated in option D.
<h3>What is a simile?</h3>
A simile is a figure of speech used to make comparisons between two different things. We can easily locate a simile in a text by the use of words such as "like," "as" or "as if."
In the passage from "Two Kinds," the simile is found in the sentence "and it seemed as if everybody were now coming up, like gawkers at the scene of an accident..." The purpose is to emphasize the disaster of the narrator's performance.
The narrator compares the way people stared at them to the way people stare at an accident. By doing so, she gives her performance the same quality of an accident - a disaster, something bad.
With the information above in mind, we can select option D as the correct answer.
