Answer

1. A

2. B

Explanation

I picked the answer A because in  the sentence “The air was deadly cold and the wind was like a flat blade of ice on his cheek.” it included a simile which is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid (e.g., as brave as a lion, crazy like a fox ), and in the sentence there was a word that shows there is a simile, which is "like a flat blade or ice" and there was also  personification which was "The air was deadly cold". I picked answer B because the statement "someone … who is just exactly right”, "Like you." seems supicous in my eyes.

the message which is being conveyed is that if a person does not have the qualified skills to be an writer then he should not and if he becomes then just leave it away..
