Simile you know when an author is using simile because they use like or as so in this case...
“Like stew beef vibrating the drum head near the edge with his fingers” hope this helps :)
Yes memories actually mean alot to me bc well of course when im older i would like to look back at things, and that’s why i save pictures and jus stuff i did jus to look back at it when im older.
I would also say D ( it introduces the speaker's sense of fondness for the orchards) is the answer because the original statement describes being in an orchard as a pleasant experience instead of dull and uninteresting like A would suggest. B would not be the correct answer because of the adjectives used. C would also not be correct because the original statement doesn't describe what the orchard looked like.
Hopefully this helped.
