Question 2

A simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things. The line "When sorrow hangs on thee like rain" uses "like" to compare sorrow to rain, so it's a simile. Other options don't use "like" or "as" for comparison.

A metaphor directly compares two unrelated things by stating one is the other. "Hope is a flame..." directly equates hope to a flame, which is a metaphor. Hyperbole is exaggeration, alliteration is repeated initial sounds, and onomatopoeia is sound - related, so they don't fit.

Answer:

B. "When sorrow hangs on thee like rain."
