    Free tip: Remember this: A simale is a comparison using like or as.

    The simales in this exerpt are

    In action how like an angel!

    In apprehension how like a god!

    A) It creates a feeling of greatness by comparing humans to divine beings. This is the answer because divine beings are great and powerful, and a human being compared to one would be considered an honor.

    B) It creates a feeling of smallness by comparing something powerful to something weak. This is not the answer, because it is not showing differences as much as it is showing simalarities between them.

    C) It creates a feeling of peach by comparing angels to gods. This is not the answer because it is not comparing angel and a god, it is comparing a human and an angle and comparing a human and a god.

    D) It creates a feeling of sadness by comparing something beatiful to something plain. This is not the answer because it is not showing how one is better than the others, it is showing how they are similar.
