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.
It isn't D because it isn't about stars. Also it isn't B. It can be A or C. C can be because it is said remembering twice so it needs to do something with memories and they need to be happy because twinklings is use to refer on something happy
