<span>A metaphor is a form of comparison without using the words such as "like" or "as," because that would be a simile. This means that C and D are incorrect, because those are examples of a simile, not a metaphor. In B, nothing is being compared, so that option is also incorrect. Thus, the correct answer is A, where "hooves of rain" is a metaphor - horses don't really have hooves made of rain, but somehow resembling rain. </span>
Answer:
The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.

The correct answer is B. The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself.
Explanation:
Gender inequality occurs when women do not have the same benefits, rights. or access to opportunities than men. Also, this occurs if women are considered inferior due to biased social or cultural ideas.
This phenomenon occurs in the passage from A Doll's House because the nurse is forced to abandon her child to have a job "how could you have the heart to put your own child out among strangers? Nurse: I was obliged to, if I wanted to be little Nora's Nurse." This shows women needed to choose between taking care of their children and having a job, which did not likely occur with men. Also, the fact this happened shows women could not support themselves and be independent except at a high price. Thus, in the passage, the author develops the social issue of gender inequality as "The nurse’s need to give up a child in order to have a job demonstrates a woman’s inability to support herself."
