The right answer is "The sea is compared to a boiling pot, emphasizing its churning."

Explanation:   The simile in this excerpt is making a comparison between the agitated movement of boiling water in a pan and the hectic movement of the sea.

The simile is the completeness of two terms among which there is some relation of similarity, as in the metaphor. The comparison, however, is made through a connective (with, like, looked, etc.) and seeks to enhance certain quality of the middle way (how, what, how, how much, etc.). Examples: "The sea sings like a canary"; "The city, asleep, looked like an endless graveyard."

Marina86 [1]

The correct answer is: all of the answers.

<em>A. A literal interpretation of the Bible.</em>

The most characteristic feature of Puritanism was its respect for the Scripture ( the Bible ) and its desire to know and carry out all its prescriptions. They viewed the Bible as authoritative for all issues on morals and faith. They followed the Bible's spiritual practices without any criticism.

<em>B. The physical existence of the Devil.</em>

The Puritans believed in the physical existence of the Devil and many demons. The Devil was able to posses and cause harm to a man or a woman. The Puritans were petrified of the Devil, they believed it gave power to witches and that's why they engaged in witch hunts.

<em>C. The view that sin resided in all people.</em>

To the Puritans, people were not only sinful but also susceptible to temptation and sin. They believed there was no horrendous crime people were not capable of committing.
