Answer:

Analogy

Explanation:

Samuel Johnson is explaining his idea of boredom and to explain it  , he compares the state of being bored with the life in a city. First, he claims that there are people who can get entertained by themselves and , if they happen to get bored with this entertainment, they will bear it and even become reflective. These people have the mental capacity to do so. This is compared to a walled city that has got enough food for her inhabitants in case of a military siege. The walled city refers to the individual who can cope with his own entertainment and boredom, and the food with the mental ability to do so. The same applies to the comparison between people who depend on external factors to set boundaries to their stupid entertaitment or to keep them away from boredom ; and a city which needs foreing supplies to survive.

The main difference of simile and analogy is simile used comparison to make the description more emphatic and vivid ,( example  : Sneaky as a snake, strong as a tank)

We can't find this kind of language on the paragraph above.

So, that paragraph above is more aptly described as an : analogy

Read the thesis statement from a historical essay. Determine which type of claim the author is making (claim of fact, definition
inn [45]

The type of claim this author is making is: Claim of policy. Why? Because what this type of claim asserts is that something should or should not be done. A key here is the verb<em> "should"</em>. In this case, the claim from this historical essay would be <em>"Washington, D.C., should not become the 51st state".</em>

The type of evidence the author should use to best support the claim would be a judgement evidence since there is nothing in history which prove this assumption to be true. However, he is making an assumption using his judgements that he will need to explain and argue afterwards.

Example: The investment for the capital would be distributed among the other cities and towns of this supposed 51st state.
