The correct answer is (A).

One of the main resources the author uses to picture the scenery is humor,expressed as a hyperbole,exaggerating or understating something the reader knows is depicted from reality,in this case the obvious immorality of the local community shown as virtuous and distant from crime and evil practices.

Answer:

good, but the use of satirical techniques needs improvement. The first “good” example does a better job of capturing the satirical tone desired for this assignment. Remember, you can also look to all of the satirical pieces in the SpringBoard book as examples.

Hey there!
We know that a metaphor is a form of figurative language. Its purpose is to compare two things without using the words "like" or "as", because that would make it a simile.
That allows us to rule out A and D.
Since you asked for which best identifies as the best metaphor, I'm going to go with C. It provides a better and more clear comparison as opposed to B.
Hopefully this helps!

Answer:

The fact that Dr. King sent Chavez a telegram offering support

Explanation:

You haven't provided the options, and all of them can't be found online, but the correct one is: The fact that Dr. King sent Chavez a telegram offering support.

Both Dr. Matrin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez were key figures in the civil rights movement. King fought for the rights of African Americans, while Chavez fought for the rights of Latino Americans and workers, especially farmers. The given passage shows us that all people who fight for freedom are united, and the fact that Dr. King sent Chavez a telegram offering support confirms this. They fought for different causes, but for the same reason - to give their people freedom.
