Read the following excerpt from "the daughters of the late colonel" by katherine mansfield: "but," cried josephine, flouncing on her pillow and staring across the dark at constantia, "father's head! " and suddenly, for one awful moment, she nearly giggled. not, of course, that she felt in the least like giggling. it must have been a habit. years ago, when they had stayed awake at night talking, their beds had simply heaved. and now the porter's head, disappearing, popped out, like a candle, under father's hat… the giggle mounted, mounted; she clenched her hands; she fought it down; she frowned fiercely at the dark and said "remember" terribly sternly. which statement best conveys how the author achieves her purpose in the passage? a. she uses a simile to show that josephine thinks the porter is too unimportant to wear her father's best hat. b. she uses characterization to show that josephine believes that in times of grief, laughter has great healing power. c. she uses characterization to show that josephine has a childish mentality about proper behavior in a time of grief. d. she uses a simile to show that josephine uses candles at night because the darkness is frightening to her.
