Which sentence below is an example of a simile? A.) "That’s quite a sob story," said Harry with a shrug, "but you’re barking up the wrong tree if you think it’ll get me to take the blame." B.) Melanie’s guilt was a dog with a bone, gnawing away at her until it felt less painful to confess and take the consequences. C.)He wouldn’t have admitted his mistake, but his conscience kept bothering him like a mosquito in a dark bedroom. D.)Shame was his constant companion, never letting him forget that he’d been silent when he should have spoken up.

C. He wouldn't have admitted his mistake, but his conscience kept bothering him like a mosquito in a dark room.

Explanation:

This is because similes compare two things using the words "like" or "as" and this sentence compares how much his conscience is bothering him to a mosquito.

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
