Answer:

The kind of literary device Huck is using in the sentence is:  simile.

Explanation:

A simile is a literary device used when we want to compare something to something else in order to imply that the two things have a similarity. It has, thus, the same purpose as a metaphor, with the difference that the simile relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison, while the metaphor does not. Huck is using a simile to compare the Spanish moss to gray beards in the way they hang down from the trees:

"<u>trees with Spanish moss on them, hanging down from the limbs</u> like <u>long, gray beards"</u>

Stores that position in-demand items at the front of the store are taking advantage of which utility
VashaNatasha [74]

When you get into a store to buy the essentials you need in order to be loaded for at least a week at home, having in-demand items at the front of the store is useful.

To begin with , placing  in-demand items just in front of the location is useful for you as a customer because you do not need to waste time looking for the things all around the premises, specially if the place is big.

Second,it is useful for the store owners as they situate  the things where they are best spotted and that guarantees the seller the purchase of the goods.

All in all, the position of the in- demand items at the front serves the purpose of the customer, who immediately sees what to buy and that of the retailer who wants their products paid for.
