The unusual description of the disappearing of Montag's smile ("He felt his smile...blown out") presents a(n)

• metaphor

• conceit (a metaphor that compares two unlike things in a surprising way)

• allusion

• hyperbole

The use of sentence fragments in the second, fourth, and sixth paragraphs (beginning "It was like," "The little mosquito-delicate," "He felt his smile slide," and "Without turning on the light") primarily serves to

• create a feeling of suspense

• contrast with the long complete sentences

• reflect Montag's impressions

• convey the incomplete nature of Montag's life

• avoid unnecessary repetition
