which best describes narrative voice?
a. the author’s personality
b. the writing’s physical format
c. the story’s perspective
d. the volume of spoken words

Explanation:

First Question:

A metaphor directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as". The phrase compares the pond's surface to liquid silver directly. Personification gives human traits to non - human things, simile uses "like" or "as", and hyperbole is an exaggeration. So the correct option is a.

Mood in writing refers to the emotional atmosphere created for the reader. Publication date, font selection, and paper quality are not related to creating emotional atmosphere in the text. So the correct option is c.

Narrative voice is about the perspective from which a story is told (e.g., first - person, third - person). The author's personality is not the same as narrative voice, the writing's physical format is irrelevant, and narrative voice is not about the volume of spoken words. So the correct option is c.

Answer:

a. Metaphor
