Answer:
B. inference
Explanation:
When the author states that "All the world's a stage" we cannot see any context clue in the same sentence, but in the last sentence of that paragraph that states "His acts being seven ages." This is an example of an inference context clue.
This type of context clue allows an unknown word or expression not to be explained immediately, but during the reading of the text, as is done in the text shown in the question above.
A metaphor is a piece of figurative language that compares two unlike things without using the terms "like" or "as". Off the bat, you can eliminate B and C, because they include these words. Option A is a piece of prose, it makes no comparisons.
The answer is D, because it compares the subject, "I" (most likely a person), to a rock (which is not a person).
