Answer :
This question is based on the poem 'Snake' by D. H. Lawrence.
a) The snake "convulsed in undignified haste" because the poem threw a log at the snake in order to kill it.
b) The snake's movement was completely in contrast to its earlier movement. While the snake was moving slowly and gracefully earlier, now it moved swiftly and quickly disappeared into the hole in the earth.
c) The literary device used in the line 'writhed like lightning' is a simile. A simile is a figure of speech that uses words like 'as' and 'like' to make comparisons.
