Ответ:
The answer above is correct. Letter b is indeed the best option.
Explanation:
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, we can note the use of simile by the author. Simile is a figure of speech used to make comparisons. It presents words such as "like" or "as". In the excerpt, the boy is compared to a fish in the following manner:
- [...] he could only be traced by the ripple he made, like a trout in a pool.
In the way the imagery is carried out in the passage, the boy becomes insignificant when he dashes into the prairie. Nature is magnificent. The boy is nothing but a thin line, a ripple between the flowers.
