The character usually reaches two extremes of his personality, which can be cold as an iceberg, or hot, explosive and unpredictable as a volcano.

Explanation:

If an author describes a character in his story as a volcano and an iceberg, it means that the author wants to show how the character's personality is unstable and can reach two extremes quickly in any situation. That's because the character can present himself as someone cold and insensitive, like an iceberg. However, the same character can assume an explosive, unpredictable and hot personality like a volcano.

D. To show that the character's anger was large and powerful.

Explanation:

It can be seen in the given passage that Stew was so angry that it can be compared to the red-hot bubble that forms inside a volcano just like in Stew's body and that it was also likened to the tip of an iceberg where it means that Stew was so good at hiding and containing his emotions despite being so angered.

The other choices are irrelevant especially choice A wherein the passage doesn't talk about Stew being guilty of any crime at all. While Choice B is also not related to the question at all because the main focus of the given passage was about Stew's character and not the police officer's. Lastly, choice C isn't the answer as well because the phrase "Stew was good at hiding his rage. He kept it like an iceberg, barely showing on the surface..." where it clearly says that Stew was capable of controlling his emotions.

Answer from: Quest

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
