c. it is a simile it creates an image of the two men as battered and downcast
d. it is a simile in shows that the men are eagar workers

C. It is a simile it creates an image of the two men as battered and downcast

Both similes and metaphors are comparisons between two different things. A simile uses like or as to show the comparison while a metaphor does not. In the passage, the word as is used so it is a simile. The word ragged means something is worn out - like an old rag. The best answer would be that the men are being described as battered and downcast.
