Which excerpt from matthew arnold's "dover beach" is an example of a
simile?
a. the sea of faith / was once, too, at the full, and round earth's
shore / lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
b. listen! you hear the grating roar/of pebbles which the waves
y draw back, and fling
c. and we are here as on a darkling plain / swept with confused
alarms of struggle and flight, / where ignorant armies clash by
night
o
d. the sea is calm tonight. / the tide is full, the moon lies fair / upon
the straits

A. The Sea of Faith / Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's

shore / Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
