Answer: C. Frost's use of metaphor to give the apple trees the qualities of grazing animals emphasizes that the wall is unnecessary.
Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given excerpt Frost uses a metaphor that compares the apple trees to grazing animals ("My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines"), this helps to emphasize that the wall is unnecessary.

Answer:
The author describes the woods as “a dark open mouth" to foreshadow the way the family will meet their deaths and also suggestive of how the story will end.
Explanation:
Flannery O'Connor's short story "A Good Man is Hard to Find" revolves around the story of a family's road trip that will lead to their deaths. And the tragic fate was a result of the grandmother's insistence that they go sightseeing, which led them to their car accident and discovery by prison escapee "The Misfit".
In describing the woods where they were stuck in as a <em>"line of woods [that] gaped like a dark open mouth”</em>, the author provides a foreboding of how the family will meet their fates. He personifies the woods as 'opening its mouth' and waiting to devour the family, suggestive of the imminent death of the whole family at the hands of The Misfit.
This description was the author's intention of predicting or foreshadowing the killings of the family members by The Misfit.
