Answer:
Two examples of metaphor extended in the book mentioned in the question above can be seen in the paragraphs:
- "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.
"
-
"People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.
"
Explanation:
The metaphor is presented as a comparison of a subjective nature between two things that do not look alike, but that have related elements. The metaphor is made in a single sentence, but the extended metaphor, as the name already says, is the same subjunctive comparison that extends over many sentences within a paragraph and even many paragraphs.
In "The writing life" by Annie Dillard we can see two examples of metaphor extended in the following paragraphs:
- "I do not so much write a book as sit up with it, as with a dying friend. During visiting hours, I enter its room with dread and sympathy for its many disorders. I hold its hand and hope it will get better.
"
-
"People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.

Answer:
Authoritarian leaders maintain tight control over a workplace's resources.
Explanation:
In first passage on "working as a team", the teacher asked for the opinions of the student council members on a fund raising project thereby motivating them to partake in the decision making process.
But Authoritarian leaders make decisions entirely on their own. They do not ask the opinions of their workers nor work as a team to proffer solutions to problems affecting the workplace.
In the second passage, workers were mentioned as the point of contact of client. They are actively involved in the day-to-day running of the organization. Hence they should be allowed to contribute in the decision making.
But Authoritarian leaders control the the operations of a firm.
Therefore, Authoritarian leaders maintain tight control over a workplace's resources.
Answer:
C) Police officers are meant to maintain law and order and are meant to serve and protect the people. However, the police officer’s comments about killing John before he becomes a problem show readers how corrupt the city and its government truly is
Explanation:
According to CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY by Alan Paton, the statement that best explains how the theme that power leads to corruption and injustice is developed in this scene is option C.
This is because the police officers who are supposed to be the protectors of the people and maintain law and order make comments justifying their killing of John which exposes how truly corrupt the city and government is.
