The right answer is alternative three.
In the excerpt from "Little Women," the conversation between Amy and Aunt March's maid conveys that Esther is a devout Catholic. First she admits she is indeed a good Catholic when Amy looks at the rosary. Then she explains to Amy that the saints would be contented if the rosary were used to pray, rather than using it as a vain necklace.
Simile, ballad and rhyme.
I hope this helps you.
