Question

My mother roared like the ocean, "No. No. It’s their beach. It’s their beach.” The poet compares the speaker’s mother to the ocean to show where her child runs. how beautiful she is. how loud she yells. who owns the beach.

Answer 1

It's using a metaphor... So it would be C.How Loud She Can Be. 

Answer 2

Answer: The right answer is the C) How loud she yells.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that by comparing the mother's loud tone of voice to the sound of the ocean, the poet is using a figure of speech known as a simile, since he is saying that the mother sounded like, or similar to, a rough ocean when she yelled at her daughter. By doing so, he is emphasizing the mother's words, and ultimately their meaning - the little local girl was not supposed to get near the beach that was reserved for the wealthy tourists.
