Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

The text is a smile because it's comparing someone or something being fierce to a fierce dog lapping its tongue using the word as. The writer is trying to emphasize that the person is very fierce and possibly aggressive as when a dog laps their tongue to drink water or lick their nose it's usually quick but rough.

c) Eteocles defends Thebes against his own brother proving his loyalty.

Why are subjective accounts often biased? A because subjective accounts are opinionated and emotional the narrator usually provi
Lunna [17]
The answer is: [A]: Because subjective accounts are often opinionated and emotional, the narrator provides only ONE {added note: should read: "one"—not: "on"} side of the story.
_______________________________
Answer choice "B" is incorrect.  "Subjective accounts" are not both "factual and impartial"; and definitely not "impartial". Furthermore, given an "opinion" in "indirect, nuanced ways" is not a REASON [note the word: "because" in this answer choice] that an account would be "factual and impartial".  This answer choice would be inherently contradictory.  Furthermore, examine the question: "<span>Why are subjective accounts often biased?".  The word "impartial" means "unbiased", so this answer choice would not make sense.
</span>______________________________
Let's look at Answer choice "C":  "because subjective accounts are formal and academic".  Subjective accounts may be "academic" —but not the most "formal".  Also, looked at the question:  "Why are subjective accounts often biased?"  It wouldn't make sense that the REASON an account would be BIASED is that an account is BOTH formal and academic."
 
But let's examine the final answer choice, "D: <span>Because subjective accounts make heave {sic} [note: this should read: "heavy"] use of imagery the narrator uses the setting to convey his or her outlook."  This is not a reason why subjective accounts are often biased.  Furthermore, subjective accounts do NOT necessarily make heavy use of, or necessarily ANY use of, imagery.
_______________
It is clear that answer choice "A" is the best answer and the correct answer.</span>
