Answer:

D. simile

Explanation:

The literary device used in this quote from Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is simile.

From the quote, there is comparison of "the agents that have power to shake and pluck" with "a wind that tosses curtains of a pavilion". The comparison is carried out with the use of "as".

Simile is a figure of speech used in the comparison of two things with use of "like" and "as". It makes the comparison more emphatic and vivid. Simile is different from metaphor because it uses <em>as</em> and <em>like</em>  in comparing things whereas metaphor doesn't use <em>as</em> and <em>like </em>to compare things.

Based on what you have read about seeing eye dogs, what do you think are the pro’s and con’s of training the dogs. Use any text
eduard

Dogs can be very crazy sometimes (like my dog) my family made a mistake to training my dog when he was a puppy but when he was older (even thought he wasn't a puppy any more) we taught him not to bite or lick ur face(which I loved but my mom said it was bad). My dog can still  be crazy but at least he doesn't bite anymore. Something u should know train ur dog when he or she is a PUPPY it's better.

Srry this probably didn't help u at all:(
