So for 1. I think it could be either A or D, but I'm going more for D.

10. C?

Still not sure about 14

I think 15 could either be B or A...

1. No. That choice has a simile. MC, please <b>study</b> the difference between a simile and a metaphor.

In fact, you need to do a lot more studying to answer these questions correctly.
