Answer:
The easiest stylistic device to identify is a simile, signaled by the use of the words "like" or "as". A simile is a comparison used to attract the reader's attention and describe something in descriptive terms. Example: The beast had eyes as big as baseballs and teeth as long as knives.
Explanation:
Stylistic devices refer to any of a variety of techniques to give an additional and/or supplemental meaning, idea, or feeling. Also known as figures of speech or rhetorical devices, the goal of these techniques is to create imagery, emphasis, or clarity within a text in hopes of engaging the reader.
Examples are metaphor, simile, or personification. Stylistic devices often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
The narrator says he was mystical, he only says horror when it comes to describing the whale because he had to be specific, almost like he didn't know how to describe him.
To paraphrase is to reword information so that it still says what was said but in a whole different way through your own words.
Example, you go on this really trustworthy website and you plan on just copying and pasting but which is not allowed, that would be plagiarism... Don't plagiarize, instead read the information and take out the main points and reword it.
Let's start with an obvious one. He certainly is not a coward. He was willing to take on a dog that was ferocious; in contrast, Heathcliff makes the comment that the "cowardly children also crept forward..." That quoted phrase is somewhere near the very end.
Your first example of yellow underlining is a wonderful example. Heathcliff is quite common and he would use common English. He characterizes Cathy as being gentile and not given to saying anything contrary to her upbringing.
I would note that Heathcliff followed grumbling execrations and vengeance. [an execration is a threat denouncement or curse. Again Heathcliff is showing his common upbringing. Cathy would choke before she would utter such things. This one is kind of iffy. You could omit it. It is by inference something that shows that Heathcliff is different].
Your second underlined statement is correct. It characterizes Heathcliff as a robber and a thief and part of a lowlife gang. You could go on. Robert does not hesitate to make his feelings known and adds to what you underlined.
Your third underlined statement is correct as well. I have added two but your examples are fine.
Who marks this? Make an appeal if you get it wrong. Interpreting literature is that way. This is not exactly a factual question and the only way to answer it is to compare Heathcliff to someone else. I chose Robert and Cathy. Write your instructor and provide some of the evidence you have provided here.
