The poet is using a metaphor. Your answer is correct.
Written sentence has a formal style and tone.
Well, you need to give us the choices before we can give an exact answer but normally you can evaluate the tone by thinking about the context and meaning.
some examples of strong disapproval might be: "She's such a horrible person" or "I really hate this lamp it's ugly" The bolded words show the strong disapproval.
But most likely you should be able to find it by evaluating tone.
Answer:
The position states a point of view that disagrees with Aristotle's.
Explanation:
The position, or claim, is a statement that contains how the writers feels on the topic, not an introduction to the topic itself, so the first answer is incorrect and can be eliminated.
The introduction begins with presenting Aristotle's point of view on having many friends; however, this isn't the writer's view, as they claim that Aristotle's point isn't valid in sentence 3. Since there is a position present <em>and</em><em> </em>it disagrees with Aristotle's, the second and fifth answers are incorrect and the third answer, being the opposite of the second, is correct.
The writer simply asserts that it is possible to have a large number of true friends, but doesn't present any reasons why this is true (extroverts are better at making friends, one simply needs to put a little more work into their friendships, etc.). Therefore, the fourth answer is incorrect.
