Answer: I and III

The author of this excerpt uses both simile and sensory imagery in order to convey his message. Simile is a comparison between two different things that, nevertheless, are similar in some respect. It is mostly used by using words such as "like." In this case, the simile is "wrapped up like garbage." On the other hand, sensory imagery refers to the images that the author creates in your mind through the use of vivid descriptions. For example, "the smell of too old potato peels."
