Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor has a structure of saying something "is" something, even though what it means is that something "is like" something else in terms of similar characteristics.

In this case, the hills "were" an angry dragon's backbone. That does not mean that the hills were literally an angry dragon's backbone, but it is like one, probably to show the effect that the hills were restless and dangerous, just like an angry dragon's backbone.

Answer: B) It supports the author’s purpose of challenging the image of the romantic countryside.

The reason why the author employs this type of words is in order to challenge the romantic image we often have of the countryside. He wants to explain to us how for Elizabethans, these landscapes are not beautiful and romantic, but useless and dangerous. In this way, he helps us better understand the perspective of this time period.
