Answer:

A. cheeks like peppermint candy, eyes like bright blue agate marbles."

B. These similes are ironic because they create images of old-fashioned childhood innocence

Explanation:

We can define simile as a word use to compare two things using as and like. When Wendy and Peter arrive at home from the carnival they'd been visiting, the narrator says that they were "coming in the front door, cheeks like peppermint candy, eyes

Irony is the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning

In this story, the similes used to describe Peter and Wendy make them seem incredibly innocent and childlike. They don't even want dinner because they are full of strawberry ice cream and hot dogs: more signs of their innocence which they are not.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]
When Kindred and Cousin desert him, Everyman is sad but resolute.

He does not weep as he did earlier. Instead, he realizes that people make promises but do not intend to keep them. People offer "fair words" but not actions.

With this in mind, he resolves not to depend on other people but calls instead on his Goods. He thinks Goods will help him because there is power in money. He believes Goods will be more reliable than people. He says specifically that "money maketh all right."  

Of course, material things will not be able to help him either. Goods even goes so far to tell Everyman that his focus on material goods has made things worse for him.
