Correct Answer: his mouth like


Solution : The first option is correct.

The phrase layered his mouth like is a simile that compares the way regret affects Drupad's ability to taste to the way mud might cover or coat something. The use of his mouth like completes the simile, creating a vivid image of the impact of regret on Drupad's sense of taste.

The choice of his mouth like helps to convey the intensity and suffocating nature of regret, suggesting that it envelops or coats his mouth much like mud would.

Therefore, the correct answer will be his mouth like.
