Slinking !! since slinking means to move slowly and carefully with gliding steps !!
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A metaphor is a figurative language device. The other answers are entirely different.
The part of Ernest Hemingway's short story "The End of Something" that is the best example of rejection of traditional beliefs is C. when Nick says love is not fun.
The traditional belief would suggest otherwise - however, by denying the thrill of love, Nick is getting rid of this innate traditional belief. The other examples do not really show this type of rejection, they represent other things that can be found in the story.
