In Part A, the presence of the simile is comparing the daffodils to the stars by using a comparison through the comparison word "as". The characteristic that the author is comparing is continuous. Something continuous never ends; therefore, the correct answer is that the simile describes the endless rows of daffodils.
In Part B, the mood that the author creates through the use of the simile mentioned in Part A is C: energetic. In the sample sentence, the word twinkle implies movement, and this movement indicates that being energetic is one of the characteristics of the daffodils.
Answer:
B. Satirical
Explanation:
The tone of the prologue is over-the-top and serves to point out social hypocrisy; it can therefore be considered satirical.
C) But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had any thing to do with her.
In Option C, Paine is stating that America would actually have been better off if it was not controlled by Britain. He says that being under British control actually hindered America's progress and kept it from flourishing even more. Options A and B both give arguments for America needing Britain in order to thrive. In Option A it states that a connection with Britain is important for America to maintain its happiness. In Option B it compares America to a child. It states that if a child can survive on milk alone then it should never have meat. Therefore America should only need Britain. We can tell Paine sees this as preposterous, but this initial idea does not support the claim. Option D shows how America will always have commerce but Britain is only concerned with eating. This alone is not enough for strong evidence.
