Answer 2

Answer:

Simile

Explanation:

• The complete text is "The current atmosphere seems to corroborate my suspicions. It appears as though a large clay pot has fallen from an unreachable rafter on which it had been resting for a while, exposing all of its concealed contents to public view."
• We can infer from this text that the narrator's doubts are compared to the statement "It seems as though a large clay pot has dropped from an unattainable rafter...".
• This comparison is done using two unrelated items that the author uses to give one of them a new interpretation.
• A simile is used to do this.
• A simile is a rhetorical device in which two objects are clearly contrasted.
• Using comparison terms like "like," "as," "so," or "than," similes distinguish themselves from other metaphors by emphasising the similarities between two items, whereas other metaphors imply a comparison.
• The phrase "My suspicions seem supported by the environment, that now prevails" from the original text also demonstrates that "that now prevails."
• It is an adverbial statement that serves as an adverb by modifying the word "atmosphere" and indicating the time at which it is established.
