A comparison, because the USS Alabama is noted as being as big as a monster

It literally says that "The USS Alabama...is a monster". This is a metaphor because the ship is not literally a monster. By saying that it is a monster the author is using a metaphor to compare the USS Alabama to a monster. An analogy makes a comparison between sets of things. However, there isn't another comparison happening in this passage.

The modal verb have got to also shows that the action is mandatory or necessary, increasing this sense of urgency that limits time to look for a ship in any other place.

This Student is arguing against mandatory homework in school. Which statement best serves as the writers claim.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Homework is harmful and not the key to student success

Explanation:

The above option is actually the best that serves the writer's claim.

This is true because looking at the passage, we see that after the student argued about the problem of homework and how it is not really beneficial to the students, the writer then went further to conclude that homework is harmful and not the key to a student's success.

So, the selected sentence is the correct answer.
