Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby. Then answer the question that follows I couldn't sleep all night, a foghorn was groaning incessantly on the Sound, and I tossed half-sick between grotesque reality and savage, frightening dreams. Toward dawn I heard a taxi go up Gatsby's drive, and immediately I jumped out of bed and began to dress-I felt that I had something to tell him, something to warn him about, and morning would be too late What is the effect of the bolded figurative language on the passage? O The alliteration reveals the repetitive nature of the speaker's nightmares The metaphor reflects the sad sound of the taxi going up the driveway. O The personification emphasizes the distressed and melancholy mood of the speaker The simile compares the sound of the foghorn to a nightmare.
