I believe it is A due to "The lady made detailed plans, engaged the caterer and the orchestra well in advance" isn't exactly connect well and be hard to understand so you'd put a comma between "caterer, and".
<span>D) Chopin uses a simile to compare how quickly the
Aubigynys fall in love to a pistol shot.</span>
Similes are comparisons using the words “like” or “as” in
order to give readers a better sense of understanding when there may otherwise
be little understanding or not the understanding a writer wishes to convey.
What this means is that authors will compare something that may not be known to
readers to something that most likely will be known in order to present the
best image understood by the most readers. Because not everyone may have
the same perspective of just how quickly the Aubigynys fall in love, the use of
a simile would work well. As such, to describe something that might be
known to readers (a pistol shot) and compare that to the quickness of their
falling in love, the readers may begin to understand just how quickly they fall
in love.
