C. To advertise a new pair of tennis shoes
Hi! Sorry I'm late, but the answer is 'It shows that the speaker will live with a misery that will never leave him'. I know this because I just took a k12 quiz with this question, and this was the correct option.
a. like

Like and as are used for similes. Thats why it cant be B or D and it doesnt say as so A. Like would be the answer.
When creating and drafting a compare and contrast essay, contrasting two characters, you should use<u> logical order</u> order to organize.
Using logical order helps you present the specific traits you want to compare and contrast during the stages of writing.
Hope I could help! :)
