B) You are often asked to answer analogies in vocabulary and reading tests.

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison of two things that are quite different from each other. The purpose of an analogy is to explain an idea or a thing by comparing it to something familiar that the reader can understand more easily. Analogies are often found in all of these places. However, one of the most common ways for students to encounter analogies is by finding them in vocabulary and reading tests. This is because analogies test our comprehension skills, as well as our critical and abstract thinking.

b is the answer.   i sat on the lumpy sofa, totally exhausted, with a bad taste in my mouth, wondering what i should do next.  

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
