Which statement best describes how the use of simile supports the overall meaning of the passage?
Liam's white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball. The kitten's white fur had earned her the name Frosty the Snowman, but her feisty personality suggested that perhaps "Stormy" might be more appropriate. In just a few days, Frosty had pulled down the curtains in Liam's bedroom, knocked a vase off the bookshelf, and sent the family dog into hiding. The kitten was a mini-tornado. The white ball of fur pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its power with thunder and lightning.
A.
The simile "like a snowball" suggests that the kitten is beautiful and peaceful, which creates a contrast with her unpleasant behavior.
B.

C.
The simile "like a snowball" enables the reader to picture Frosty's beautiful fur, which reflects her personality.
D.
The simile "curled up on the sofa" compares Frosty to a pillow, reinforcing her quiet, reclusive nature.
