Answer:
A. by recounting and quoting Jihyun Park’s harrowing experience in North Korea and her challenging journey to seek asylum
Explanation:
The article illustrates the harsh realities faced by North Koreans living under a repressive and authoritarian regime. Besides detailing the hardships of North Koreans, it also highlights the perilous situations women encounter when attempting to escape North Korea and seek refuge elsewhere. To support this narrative, the article recounts and cites the experiences of Jihyun Park, who, as a North Korean defector, endured significant struggles, including facing human trafficking while fleeing to China.

While I'm not familiar with the Robert Bly poems you studied, I would contend that in works such as "A Dream on the Night of First Snow," the author employs highly vivid, visual, and perhaps sarcastic language in recounting his dream. He begins by mentioning a girl encountered in an attic, who "spoke of operas, passionately," only to abruptly segue into his amusing encounter with a salamander, humorously detailing how the creature "moved over a log" and departed. One can vividly envision the salamander confidently striding "like a chess master" and ascending "like a tractor," evoking sympathy, while simultaneously eliciting a faint smile regarding the girl, who talked fervently about operas, left alone in the attic as she continued. Another instance of Bly's imagery and sarcasm designed to provoke an emotional response can be seen in "The Bear and the Man," where a bear connects to a man through their shared grief over the loss of their sons. The bear's son was killed by a trap likely set by a man, while the man's son fell victim to a bear while intoxicated and lost in the woods. The bear identifies with "his kin," among them the discarded down jackets, and so does the man, though the implication is that the bear has a deeper understanding. As they confront each other, just moments away from potential confrontation, the narrator nevertheless points out that they share a grandmother (a nod to the Ursa Major or Great Bear) who observes them from the sky, likely in an effort to bring about harmony.
The answer is D. A simile compares two unlike things using the words "like" or "as".
