C. The author uses a simile to compare the feeling of nervousness to melting because the sentence uses the word "like," which is an underlying hint to similes. Without it, it would be a metaphor.

If you were to write a poetic tribute, how would you personify the spirit of the united state today?

Romashka [77]

Poetic tribute about the spirit of the United States:

My nation is for adoration

So state its valleys

Where old waterways stream

The round trip of life

Under the pleased eye of winged creatures

Embellishing the sky.

O wonderful for roomy skies,

For golden floods of grain,

For purple mountain majesties

Over the fruited plain!

Love America Love America once more.

Love the fantasy it used to be.

Love the pioneer on the plain

Looking for a home where the Mind smiles

Be that as it may, the most bizarre thing yet was a fly without wings

Once as a fly it played in the stars

Singing, with open mouths, with happy soul for the country!
