Question

Read the following excerpt.

Out of the corner of her eye she could see the giant approaching. He was completely soaked and his wet shaggy beard made her think that he looked like her schnauzer after a bath. Kana wondered why he didn't have an umbrella, but he was a foreigner and it was expected that foreigners be a bit weird. It's not like her umbrella was helping her anyway, since the wind made the rain come as much from the front as from above.
In this excerpt, the simile indicates that the foreigner-
A) is imposing
B) needs help finding his way
C) has no protection from the rain
D) walks quickly

Answer 1

The simile in the excerpt compares a giant man's wet appearance to a schnauzer after a bath, suggesting that he has no protection from the rain, which corresponds to option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt describes a scene where a giant man, likened to a wet schnauzer, approaches without an umbrella in the rain. The use of a simile in this context to compare the giant's appearance to that of a wet dog is for descriptive purposes and does not directly indicate any of the choices provided as options.

However, by mentioning the absence of an umbrella, it can be implied that the man has no protection from the rain, which aligns with option C. The other options (A, imposing; B, needing help finding his way; D, walking quickly) are not suggested by the use of the simile.
