Answer:
The full question i believe is "Suddenly, Ollie <u>was a freight train</u> racing into the house". Is the underlined phrase a simile or metaphor"? My answer to this question is Metaphor.
Explanation:
Metaphor is a figurative language in which a thing is regarded as symbolic of something else. In this case 'was a freight train' is symbolic of something else. Metaphor has to do with applying a word or phrase to an object or an action that is not literally applicable.
When a Metaphor is used, the statement does not literally make sense, but then makes sense when the similarities between the two things becomes clear or when the individual understands the connection.

Hi,
The correct answer is Hector does not think he is risking his life. I think this because even though his wife is telling him not to go into battle, he is still willing to put himself into trouble, yet he doesn't know he is harming himself.
Hope I helped :)
