<u>Answer:</u>
D. a story set during a major battle.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The chaotic tone of the passage is one of panic, emergencies, accidents, bravery, fear and much more, all of which can be associated with a story set during a major battle.
Even the instances from the passage attest to that with danger lurking all around, people trapped in a supposedly safe zone until it no longer remains safe, the emergency equipment, like the emergency radio in the passage, the urgency of the situation wherein Juan needs to go check up on his mother who's alone "out there", chaos among people, etc. The mood of the passage is tense and there's a sense of impending disaster in the undertone of the passage, which further relates to a story set during a major battle.
You might be talking about Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Infamy speech, given just after the pre-emptive attack on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines by the Empire of Japan. The short speech emphasizes on how Japan attacked the United States without first declaring war, and then declaring that the United States is ready to act and do measures for defense.
This is a metaphor. unlike a simile, for example, Brave as a fox comma it does not use like or as. the definition of a metaphor is, a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable
When the poet witnessed the death of her canary as a child, she was not immediately moved to "tears or sadness" but was struck by the "fitness" of the burial of the canary. However, she later experienced loss as an adult and felt a deep sense of grief:
Not knowing death would be hard
Later, dark, without form or purpose.
After my first true grief I wept, was sad, was dark, . . .
After she finished grieving, she recalled her childhood response to the death of the canary. She feels that her first response was wiser, though it seems to lack sensitivity. She feels that all human experience is a form of play, and death is a kind of farewell ritual:
The yellow bird sings in my mind and I say
That the child is callous but wise, knows the purpose of play.
