It could either be B Simile because the word As is used, But im also stuck on C onomatopoeia, because knock could be used as a sound for emphasis. Out of spirit im choosing B!

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.

Read the excerpt from Samuel Johnson's preface to A Dictionary of the English Language.
Marta_Voda [28]
<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.
