Answer: Metaphor

Explanation:

A Metaphor helps describe a character or variable by relating it to another character or Variable that is seemly unrelated to it but bears certain characteristics to it for comparison sake.

It essentially says one thing is another so that the original thing can be understood better.

For example, "every family has a black sheep". It is not saying that every family will have a sheep which is black but rather saying that at least one member of each family behaves differently from the rest.

In the above extract from Toni Cade Bambara's short story "Raymond's Run", Squeaky who is Raymond's sister is using a metaphor to describe her brother's penchant for using the curb as a Circus clown uses a rope high in the air.

The answer for this would be A: Research the company.

A short explanation as to why is below:

<em>Of course I'm not saying don't research the company's goals and values before going to an interview. You should do that to see if you'd be a good fit. You should even research the interviewer to see what exactly you're getting yourself into. </em>

<em>But when you show up to the interview, you should have questions about the company when you get there. Researching about the company too much beforehand won't allow the interviewer to answer any questions you may have because...well... you have none. Interviewers like interaction, and they also like questions. So, as you get to know the company during the interview, continue to offer questions. </em>

Hope this helped you out!
