C. a simile.

Explanation:

"Foam brightens like the dogwood now" is an example of a simile. A simile is a literary device which is used in the comparison. When a comparison is made between two things, person, or ideas with the help of the word 'like' or 'as' it is known as a simile. In the above sentence, the comparison has been made between 'foam' and 'dogwood' by using the word 'like'.

Further Explanation:

Consonance, metaphor, simile, and alliteration all are the literary devices used in the literary work. They help the writer to draw his ideas in a much influential and appealing manner. Consonance is the repetition of the consonant sound in the words appearing in the same sentence. The vowel sounds in these words may be different but the consonant sound remains equivalent. A metaphor is a type of comparison made between two things which are very different from each other. There exist only one similarity between the two on which the comparison is made. The comparison in metaphor is not done by using the word 'like' or 'as'. Simile, on the other hand, is a direct comparison made by using the word 'like' or 'as'. Alliteration is the repetition of the consonant sound in the initial part of the similar words. It may appear in the stressed syllable of the words of the given phrase or sentence.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
