C. Onomatopoeia

An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds the same as its meaning. Knock is an onomatopoeia because the words sounds just like the sound of a knock. Batter may also be considered an onomatopoeia. A simile is a comparison between two unlike things using like or as. While the word "as" in this passage. There is nothing being compared. Personification is giving a nonhuman thing human like traits. There is nothing nonhuman in this passage that is receiving human traits. A volta is a turn in meaning. This is also not in the passage. It's also important to remember here that it says there is one underlined word. Onomatopoeia is the only option because it is the only thing that can be one word.

Answer:

The Enlightenment man would be the most beneficial to today's society.

Explanation:

As was shown in the question above, the Enlightenment man was a great scholar and used to apply the concepts he had studied in the society in which he lived, always considering logic and truth and aiming to help the people most oppressed by society.

As our current society is taken over by polariazação, the persecution of science and study, the persecution of minorities and political fanaticism, I believe that the great scholar and thinker as an enlightenment would be the ideal to be a contemporary hero.
