Question

In Vietnam, the jungle itself turned you into an animal. It reached out and pulled you in. We willingly performed the outward transformation of camouflaging ourselves — tucking foliage into our helmets, smearing our faces with ash that stung our nostrils. But something inside us was changing as well. We were becoming beasts — stalking our prey, baring our fangs. And when the time came, attacking.

Which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone?

 

A.
The jungle was alive with the sounds of nature — strange birds were our alarm clock in the morning.
 

B.
I pressed myself against the trunk of a thick tree — a wolf in sheep's clothing waiting to strike.
 

C.
I was surprised and frightened by this change that allowed me to attack without remorse.
 

D.
Far from the comforts of home, we had entered this conflict in order to let sleeping dogs lie.

Answer 1

I'm guessing its c, not 1000% sure

Answer 2

B. I pressed myself against the trunk of a thick tree, a wolf in sheep's clothing waiting to strike.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer that best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone. In these lines, the author uses figurative language by describing the think trunk of the tree, and how he was "a wolf in sheep's clothing." Moreover, this matches the tone of the paragraph as it describes the author as a vicious attacker with little remorse.
