into isnt pronoun its preposition
New York Times can be seen as a reliable source, I would mark it as strong
It is Simile
It's not an idiom because an idiom is saying that something is even though it isn't. example- (a white lie) a lie isn't white nor a color.
It's not metaphor because I chose that for my test which was the same question and it was wrong.
It's not personification because it's when it includes something nature or animal like.
