Answer:

<u>D. a joke using words that sound alike but have different meanings. </u>

Explanation:

It could also be A, but D made the most sense.

Here is an example "What did the grape say when it got crushed? Nothing, it just let out a little wine."

as you can see, gramatically, the word should be "whine", but as this is a pun that is talking about grapes, using "wine" instead makes it funny.

The author's use of simile:

B. It helps the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. A simile needs help of words such as "as" or "like".

In the text, the discovery of planets and exoplanets was compared to billiard balls in a pool game. First, discovering planets was similar to a regular game, in which it is easy to see and count the balls. But, <u>as more and more exoplanets were discovered, scientists could no longer run tally.</u> That is why it was like a pool player making a big, smashing break: planets, like the billiard balls, were everywhere. The text moves on the describe it as an <u>"inordinate number"</u>. Therefore, <u>we can say safely say the simile is being used to help the reader visualize the increased number of exoplanets discovered.</u>
