Read through the paragraph from Anton Chekhov's short story "The Lottery Ticket."

I can fancy how, like a regular woman, she will lock the money up as soon as she gets it.... She will hide it from me..... She will look after her relations and grudge me every farthing.

How does the bold-faced simile add to the mood of the paragraph? (Like a regular woman) is bolded

O it creates an image for the reader
O It builds tension in the reader
O It keeps the reader engaged
O It hints something to the reader
