Answer: C
Explanation: From what I can remember from the story, the son of the man trying to escape warmed him not to fly so high and from his own pride, he fell. Also none of the other answers make sense because they relate to the story and questions like these should be based solely on a main idea or topic, the central focus.
Enjambment - the sentences do not finish with the end of the line.
Simile - "like a slackened drum"
Maybe even hyperbole, since it is an exaggeration.
