i'm thinking it's either b or c

The young doctor selling the doll's eyes is not an example of magic realism in The Youngest Doll

Explanation:

"The Youngest Doll" by Rosario Ferre is a clear example of magic realism, this kind of writing that uses common or ordinary objects in the story to become something supernatural and magic, here is the case of the dolls, and how they are connected to the Aunt and the nieces, on the other hand, selling the doll's eyes is not a representation of this kind of writing, it is just an exemplification of the selfishness of the man.

question:

it's when i'm weary of considerations, and life is too much like a pathless wood where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs broken across it, and one eye is weeping from a twig's having lashed across it open

answer to question #1: the simile that occurs in the text given (lines 43-47) is: ''life is too much like a pathless ''

explanation: a simile is a comparison of one thing with another thing and it is used to make a vivid description. it uses like or as. in the text, we can understand that the person is feeling weary of considerations and because of this, the person compares ''life'' to ''a pathless wood''.

answer to question #2: in this text we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations and compares life to a pathless wood.

explanation: the word frost means coldness and something covered by ice crystals but looking at the comparison made in this text, we can understand that the word frost could mean anger, annoyance and bitterness, due to the fact that the person is stating that he/she is feeling weary of considerations therefore he/she compares life to a pathless wood.
