The correct answer is metaphor.
Passing the torch is a metaphor which means that you are passing on some traditions or knowledge to someone else. It can't be an allusion because allusion is a reference to something outside of the text; simile is comparison using words such as like or as; personification is when non-human entities or objects have human characteristics.

He is correct on that one. A metaphor is like another way of saying something, but the way you say it is not literal. Like in this example, Looking for my keys is like finding a needle in a hay stack. It is saying that is is really hard to find something. Any type of saying like it snowed over or it's a piece of cake, those are metaphor. So yes the answer is a metaphor.

MUST-READ THE STORY Phineas Gage
kenny6666 [7]

At the beginning of the text, he is described as a polite, balanced, calm, and very rational employee. However, the accident changed his behavior, causing him to become rude, reckless, surly, and restless.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The story shows that Phineas Gage was the foreman of railway construction.
  • One day, an explosion in the building caused a tamping iron to hit his head very hard, completely destroying one side of his brain.
  • Although this was a very violent accident, he survived, but the impact on his brain completely changed the way he behaved.

When he recovered from the accident, he went back to work, but his friends at work claimed he was a very calm, efficient, and respectful person, but the accident left him rude, rude, and inconsequential.

1. what is the figurative language for the part of the passage in parentheses "…and see the tears welling up in her little eyes
Anarel [89]

The correct answer is B. Metaphor.

Metaphor is a literary tool in which a word or phrase that usually designates one thing is used to designate another making an implicit comparison between two things not alike, but that the reader will be able to understand. This rhetoric language tool is used in ways in which words acquire a contextual meaning different to that found in a dictionary, to emphasize an idea or feeling.

There are two elements:

* The real word or phrase: "depressing", "her little <<mind>>", of which the writer is truly speaking; and,

* The imaginary word or phrase: "clouds of inferiority", "mental sky", through which there is a reference made of the first one.
