The answer is: D.  continuing for a long time.

The adjective protracted means lasting for a long time or for a longer time than expected or usual.

In the excerpt from "Great Astronomers," by Irish astronomer Robert Stawell Ball, the speaker makes reference to Greek astronomer Claudius Ptolemy's and his legacy. Ptolemy was born around the year 85 A. D. As a consequence, the author acknowledges how Ptolemy's studies have influenced humanity for "sixty generations."

What type of metaphor do bold words represent
Llana [10]

Look at these three sentences:

• She flew past me on her bicycle.  

• Turing was the father of the modern computer.

• He gave me a cold look.

In all these sentences, the word in bold type is not used in its basic or literal meaning – it is used in a metaphorical way.

A metaphor is a type of comparison: when you use a word or phrase metaphorically, you are using a meaning that has developed from the literal meaning and has some of the same features. For example, if you say someone ‘flies past’ on a bicycle or in a car, they are not really flying through the air, but the speed of their movement reminds you of a plane or a bird. This is a normal part of the way word meanings develop, and when a word has several meanings, some of those meanings are usually metaphorical.
