A simile is a figure of speech where you use words such as <u>like</u> or <u>as</u> to show a comparison between two or more things.
Here, the simile "like some unemployed janitor who'd gone to Reno and won a million-dollar jackpot" is used to denote happiness and ecstasy at winning something unexpectedly, which happened to the hunter and his 'trophy" in the novel.

I NEED HELP PLEASE :)
Burka [1]

Answer:

A. Captain Beatty repeatedly taunts Montag and pushes Montag to kill him.

C. Captain Beatty had found the listening device in Montag’s ear and was going to track it back to Faber. Killing Captain Beatty was the only way that Montag would protect Faber.

Explanation:

The answer wouldn't be "B," because Faber and Montag don't actually plan on killing Captain Beatty. The answer also wouldn't be "D," because Montag does somewhat hate Captain Beatty's cruelty, but he hasn't been looking for an opportunity to kill him.

The answer would be "A," since Captain Beatty does tell Montag to kill him. The answer would also be "C," since Montag was afraid Captain Beatty was going to kill Faber when he found out where he was living, since he was helping Montag in collecting books.
