Question

english

Gucchi · Answer

Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby. Then answer the question that follows.

But with every word she was drawing further and further into herself, so he gave that up, and only the dead dream fought on as the afternoon slipped away, trying to touch what was no longer tangible, struggling unhappily, undespairingly, toward that lost voice across the room.

What is the effect of the bolded figurative language on the passage?

The metaphor highlights the words drawing a picture of the speaker's dream.
 The personification of the dream emphasizes the last traces of the speaker's hope.
 The simile compares a dream to a fighter who has lost their voice.
 The simile illustrates the quiet voice trying to be heard through the walls of the room.
