PLEASE HELP!! What figure of speech does

Wharton use in the passage

below from Paragraph 43 of

April Showers?

She bent her head under the

coming storm of his derision.

A. metaphor -- the comparison of two

unlike things

B. simile -- two unlike things are

compared using "like" or "as"

C. personification -- an object or idea is

given human-like qualities

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.

answer: d.she abandons people when they least expect it.

in the monk's tale, we encounter seventeen stories that relate historical events. all of these stories have tragic commonalities. they tell the stories of heroes who, despite their success in life, all met sad ends. the monk blames these sad outcomes on fortune. one of fortune's traits is that she abandons people when they least expect it. this is one of the most common themes of medieval tragedies.
