The correct answer is A. I only. Which is simile. 

In the excerpt, the lines "wrapped up like garbage" is an example of simile. This is because the word "like" was used to compare a thing into another. So the correct answer would be Simile. The excerpt didn't contain personification or sensory imagery. Just simile. I hope this answer helped you. 

on edinuity it is not A! IT IS NOT I ONLY!!
