Is this the excerpt you are referring to?

<span>In a smithy

one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze 
plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screeching steam- 
the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: 
just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
</span>
If so, the use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand how hot the spear actually is.

Read the excerpt from Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African. That subject, handled in your striking manner, would ease
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Well known in London social and literary circles during his lifetime, Sancho achieved lasting fame with the posthumous publication of his Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African. The 158 letters collected in this volume cover a wide range of subjects—including literature, politics, and race—and offer Sancho's unique perspective as a former slave and one of the only middle-class Black men living in eighteenth-century London. Sancho's letters also reveal him to be a man of generosity, warmth, and humor who enjoyed the company of friends from many different stations in life. In his own day, Sancho was thought of as “the extraordinary Negro,” and to eighteenth-century British opponents of the slave trade he became a symbol of the humanity of Africans, something that at the time was disputed by many.
