The correct answer is that Alex and Joe have C. Contrary views of life.
This is because contrary means opposing, or opposite. Using the metaphor of the cherry, Alex believes that life is a bowl of cherries, meaning that he looks at life in a positive way. To Joe, life is "the pits", which means he is looking at life with a negative view. This shows the opposing, or contrary nature, of their beliefs, which shows you that the answer is C.
Hope this helps!

A, because to eat describes what she will do with the apple, and adjectives describe nouns (apple is a noun).
Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):
King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia." </em>
Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>
Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.
B would make the prose more difficult to read and thus interrupt the natural rhythm
