An analogy is a comparison between two ideas that are very different from each other. The analogy usually tries to use one of the elements (the one which is more familiar) to explain the other one. This is done through the use of metaphors and similes.

In "The Road Not Taken," the author compares life to a road. Therefore, the road is being used to explain the concept of life, which is a more complex one. On the other hand, "O Captain! My Captain!" uses an analogy in order to compare Abraham Lincoln to a ship captain, leading his vessel and his crew (the nation) to a safer port.

These analogies have become famous for several reasons. First, the analogies are accurate, and this allows the author to use extensive metaphors in complex ways. Second, the analogies are very visual, and the author's use of imagery allows the reader to form a clear picture in his mind. Finally, the authors talk about topics that are relevant for their audiences in accessible ways.

Which of the author's ideas is developed in the
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Geologists admit that predicting geysers with complete accuracy is not possible.

Explanation:

Geysers are very fickle because it is not yet possible for geologists to accurately predict their functioning, with the exception of the Old Faithful geyser.

As you may already know, geysers function as a volcanic activity, however expelling jets of water and not lava. These water jets are caused when the pressure of the groundwater increases to the point of overcoming the pressure of the water column, the result of which is the high expansion of the groundwater that causes their expulsion to the surface.

Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen." Queen Boadicea looked so beautiful and fierce as she stood there, with her
rewona [7]

The power of Boadicea is highlighted in this excerpt, using adjectives such as fierce, beautiful, and the imagery of "her golden hair blowing round her in the wind" giving the illusion of someone otherworldly, superior to common beings. Her speech rouses deep passion in the people, it's a call for action that is responded eagerly. Loyalty to the Queen is loyalty to the Country, the soldiers pledge their lives to her, hence they pledge their lives to fight for the country against the Romans. Her rage is mirrored and multiplied, till everybody is willing to die for her, to avenge their country.
