Answer:

A. Exaggeration

Explanation:

Hyperboles are used to portray an exaggeration. An example is if someone were to say "It was so hot, it was 1000 degrees outside". That is an exaggeration, because it wasn't really that hot, the person was just stating that it was very hot by adding an unrealistic description.

A simile can be found when using "like" or "as" between two things. Example: I'm as happy as a clown.

Your question would be a metaphor. Both things are being compared to a science expieriment, probably meaning that they need to have an outcome, but it isn't known for sure if it will be a good or bad outcome.

Things like this can be taken many ways, so if you think something else, I'm sure it would work as well.

Alex73 [517]
The answer is Louis and Clark! 2 very brave men! O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above thy fruited plain

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness
America, America
God mend thine every flaw
Confirm thy soul in self control
Thy liberty in law
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life
America, America
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above thy fruited plain
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
