The correct answers are

Metaphor: She's an encyclopedia; We're just old news; I'm spreading my wings.

Simile: It's hard as steel; He's crafty like a fox; I'm strong like a bull

Explanation:

Both Simile and Metaphor are rhetorical figures used to describe a person, animal, object, etc. by making a comparison. The key difference between these two figures is that in SImile explicit comparison words such as "like" or "as" are used, while in metaphor the comparison occurs directly. This means, in the sentences "It's hard as steel", "He's crafty like a fox" and " I'm strong like a bull" there is simile due to the use of like and as, while in the rest of the options there is a metaphor because comparison occurs directly.

Which statement is written correctly? A) When running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his posit

earnstyle [38]

<u>Answer</u>:

B: When running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, to state his beliefs articulately, and look confident while doing so.

This statement has been written correctly.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Punctuation is very important in a writing. The reader can understand the meaning properly and even the writing appears more appealing. Without punctuation, correct meaning might not reach to the reader. He might lose his interest in reading.

Option B has correct punctuation marks, i.e. there is a comma after office and after positions. Also, “to state his beliefs” is grammatically correct. In other options, use of “stating his beliefs” in Option D and “to look confident” in Option C makes both the sentences grammatically wrong. In Option A, use of ‘state his beliefs’ and ‘to look’ are incorrect as well.
