Explanation:

Question 8

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. The line uses "like" to compare "Luve" to a rose and a melody, so it's a simile. Onomatopoeia is a word imitating a sound, hyperbole is exaggeration, and alliteration is repeated initial consonant sounds (not present here with "like" comparisons).

"You're" is a contraction for "you are", so the first blank needs "you're" (You are doing...). "Your" is a possessive pronoun, so the second blank needs "your" (your assignment). So the correct pair is "you're, your".

"Than" is used in comparisons (taller than me), and "then" is used for time/sequence (and then she said...). So the first blank is "than", the second is "then".

Answer:

a. simile
