I'm not really good at this stuff... but i'm quite sure that: 1. A 2. C

Answer 2

1) The answer is A.
Similes use 'like' or 'as' to compare two or more objects or situations. This eliminates answers B and C. Answer D isn't a comparison, but is describing a feeling.
Thus, answer A is left.

2) The answer is C.
A refrain in poetry is the repetition of a line or lines.
