Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,
In swarms the guiltless engage,
Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveller
Great Jove consents to half the chief’s request,
But heaven’s eternal doom denies the rest;
To free the fleet was granted to his prayer;
His safe return, the winds dispersed in air
Joyful they heard, and kindling as he spoke,
Flew to the fleet, involved in fire and smoke.
From shore to shore the doubling shouts resound,
The hollow ships return a deeper sound.
In equal arms two sons of Nestor stand,
And two bold brothers of the Lycian band:
By great Antilochus, Atymnius dies,
Pierced in the flank, lamented youth! he lies,
The excerpt from Homer’s Iliad which contains an epic simile is:
“As wasps, provoked by children in their play,
Pour from their mansions by the broad highway,
In swarms, the guiltless engage,
Whet all their stings, and call forth all their rage: traveler”
The simile in the above excerpt is 'like a swarm of bees.' A simile is a direct comparison between two things. It compares two things by using ‘as’ or ‘like.’ A simile is the figure of speech which directly compares two things which have some features common in them. In the above excerpt, the number of people has been compared with the swarm of bees.

As per the question, the component that would not represent a key component in understanding a 'memoir' would be 'setting' as it is entirely based on personal experiences and personal knowledge of the subject and contracted over a specified theme. Thus, 'setting' would not be an essential element for understanding it. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
