Which statement best describes how the use of simile supports the overall meaning of the passage?

Liam's white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball. The
kitten's white fur had earned her the name Frosty the Snowman, but
her feisty personality suggested that perhaps "Stormy" might be more
appropriate. In just a few days, Frosty had pulled down the curtains in
Liam's bedroom, knocked a vase off the bookshelf, and sent the family
dog into hiding. The kitten was a mini-tornado. The white ball of fur
pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its
power with thunder and lightning.
