​

Answer 1

Answer:

Below is the answer.

Explanation:

This question is from the story Portrait of the lady written by Henry James. It was published in 1882

In the story, the writer used the simile "the sagging skin of the dilapidated drum" to explain the state of the drum and the woman. He wanted to elaborate on the idea of the drum being over-used and now is worn out and old.

Since this drum was played by the Grand-mother this simile also explains the old poor conditions of her old age as compared to her youth.
