As he walked into the muck of the swamp, Sherman was drawn to a glint of light dancing off of the shore. The water barely moved as Sherman got closer. The stone shooting up from under the swamp water glittered in the night. The luster of the stones reflected the moon's glow like a bullet ricocheting off of a steel drum. It was so bright that it forced him to squint and turn away. Why does the author use the simile "The luster of the stones reflected the moon's glow like a bullet ricocheting off of a steel drum"?

A.
to show that the swamp sounded like a loud drum
B.
to show the intense glare from the moonlight
C.
to show the size of the swamp in the night
