Answer:
A. The road was an unbroken line from a Sharpie marker, its smell
overpowering and its thick stroke intimidating in its confidence.
Explanation:
A metaphor says something "is" something it isn't
c. is a simile- it's "like" something
b. is just a description
Some people are saying it's C-Deeply personal. Although, to be honest, ALL literature is A because it depends on how you interpret it. That's why we have literature classes and 10 people can write 10 different opinions on what the literature is saying. Since contemporary simply means the writing written after WWII era, it can range so much, that saying it's deeply personal, in my opinion, is too broad. So I would say A, unless you have something in your reading/lessons that say otherwise, or gives a specific answer.
I think the answer is D, Hope it helps!
To grow is an a. infinitive because it is a basic verb phrase. The plant would be going to something if this was a preposition.
