Mario · Answer 1

The answer is B. Extended metaphor

Patrick Tyler · Answer 2

I believe the answer is B, an extended metaphor.

It can't be A because similes are comparing two unlike things using the words "like" or "as", which will also eliminate D.

It can't be C because a personification is where an inanimate object is given human-like qualities.

Throughout the entire passage, the author compares Ben to a bear and uses words such as "growled", "barked", "lumbered" which shows how the comparison between the two is prolonging throughout the passage.
