Explanation:

Question 3 Part A

The sentence "Fear slithered about her like a serpent" uses "like" to compare fear to a serpent, which is the definition of a simile. Metaphor doesn't use "like" or "as", personification gives human traits to non - human things, and hyperbole is exaggeration. So the figurative language here is a simile.

A serpent is associated with being sneaky and dangerous. The simile "Fear slithered about her like a serpent" compares fear to a serpent, so it helps the reader imagine fear as something sneaky and dangerous. Option A is incorrect as it doesn't make fear seem small. Option C is wrong as the story isn't about animals. Option D is incorrect as the simile doesn't make the story funny.

The sentence "Thy heart, a quiet lantern, glows within thee" directly compares the heart to a lantern without using "like" or "as", which is the definition of a metaphor. A simile uses "like" or "as", personification gives human qualities to non - human entities, and onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound. So the figurative language here is a metaphor.

Answer:

A. Simile
