Read the passage from The Odyssey - Teiresias. ‘Then a seaborne death soft as this hand of mist will come upon you when you are

Answer: A) Odysseus that he will have a gentle death.
Explanation: A simile is a figure of speech that consists in making a comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, this comparison is made using the words "like" and "as." In the given passage from "The Odyssey" we can see an example of simile in the phrase "Then a seaborne death soft as this hand of mist will come upon you..." this simile is comparing the death of Odysseus with a soft hand of mist, so this tells us that Oddysseus will have a gentle death.
Explanation: A novel is not intended to produce a single effect because of its greater length than a short story. A short story is intended, as Poe established elsewhere, to be read at a single sitting. A novel is typically divided into chapters, and sometimes even into "books" or "volumes" because it is not intended to be read at a single sitting.
