<em>The effect of the metaphor in the poem "Can't" by Edgar Guest is that</em><u><em> it helps the reader understand the relationship between self-doubt and failure. </em></u>
<em>The correct answer is</em><u><em> option D. </em></u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Guest newly defines the word “can’t.” He calls it the father of feeble endeavour. He also addresses it as a parent of terror and half-hearted work. Can’t is the word that starts with self-doubt which leads to failure. Can’t means to give up. This is what the metaphor is trying to explain to the readers.

Answer:
The correct option is letter B) While Rebecca wants to go swimming every day, Arnold only wants to stay home and play video games.
Explanation:
A sentence that compares two elements focuses on those elements' similarities. A sentence that contrasts two elements focuses on their differences. Among the options given, letter B is the only one that presents a compare/contrast organization of ideas. As a matter of fact, it is contrasting Rebecca's and Arnold's preferences. The conjunction "while" helps convey the idea of contrast by stating that, while one element wants one thing, the other element wants something else. While Rebecca would rather go swimming, Arnold prefers to stay home. The difference between their preferences are made clear by the sentence's organization.
