Answer:

I believe the best answer to be letter D) He should show more empathy in his tone.

Explanation:

In an argumentative essay, we make our claim, that is, we state our opinion and point of view concerning a certain topic. Then, we respond to counterclaims, which would be the opinions that are contrary to our own. By responding to them efficiently, we have better chances to convince readers to agree with our perspective. However, we must be careful in doing so. In Jacob's case, his tone conveys a sort of aggressiveness. It does not seem that he is defending his opinion, but rather attacking the others'. Even if corporate executives do think environmentalists are a bunch of scruffy, tree-hugging hippies etc., Jacob can find a way to state that without the offensive/offended tone. It feels as if he has taken their opinion too personally, too strongly.

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is defined as "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This means that saying "She *IS* a typing machine" is a metaphor because it is simply not literally possible. The word "is" will be your hint that a sentence like this is a metaphor and not a simile. A simile usually has the keyword "like" in the sentence (For example: She was *like* a typing machine."

The main difference is that a metaphor claims that two things are the same while a simile claims two things are similar (you can remember this by the "simil" in both of these words!).
