Part A
What type of rhetorical appeal does the author use in this passage?
Oa. Logical reasoning, supported by evidence, facts, or quotations
Ob. Emotional language
Oc. Repetition of key words and phrases
Od. Direct address to the reader
A metaphor and a simile both describe something using a comparison to something else, but a metaphor does it an implied way, and a simile does it explicitly by using the word like or as.
Example of a simile: She looked like a cat that had just been thrown in the water.
Example of a metaphor: She was a blank slate, ready to start anew.
LETTERS A AND B for the correct answer
When an author writes, she meets reader expectations by envisioning herself as the targeted audience.
Queen. Since that's the title of the person, it needs to be capitalized (the same principle applies to other titles: Doctor, Judge, President, etc.)
