"The Crisis, Number One" is actually a literary work done by Thomas Paine. And based on the excerpt above taken from this, the one that gives the best description of the author's use of figurative language is the second option. Thomas Paine is using metaphor here in order to illustrate the reason why America must acquire independence from Britain.

What is the difference between "affect," "effect," and "impact"?
Snowcat [4.5K]
Do not confuse the words affect, effect, and impact, each of which can be used both as a verb and as a noun. Avoid incorrectly using impact as a verb in place of affect or as a noun in place of effect. Affect as a verb means "to influence." Impact as a verb means "to hit with a blow".
