Explanation:

Question 8

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. The phrase "flickering like stars" uses "like" to compare fireflies to stars, so it's a simile. Hyperbole is exaggeration, metaphor is a direct comparison without "like"/"as", and personification gives human traits to non - human things.

First - person narration is from the perspective of "I" or "we". The reader only gets the information and thoughts that the first - person narrator has, which is more limited than multiple perspectives (gives multiple viewpoints), third - person limited (knows one character's thoughts), or third - person omniscient (knows all characters' thoughts and more details).

Universal experiences are those that are common and relatable across different cultures and time periods. Local experiences are specific to a place, regional to a region, and personal to an individual, so they don't resonate across cultures and time like universal experiences do.

Answer:

c. Simile
