Answer 2

A) Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered . . .

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to explain and to spot a simile is the fact that a simile is actually a comparission, that is directly indicated by the words "Like" or "as", it is a clear comparission between two things in order to explain something or to give context and more meaning to a sentence, the only one from the options that actually is a comparission and it also includes the word "like" would be the first one A) Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered . . . so that would be the correct option.
