The correct answer is 1. an extended comparison.


A metaphor is a type of comparison - when you are symbolically comparing two or more things (without using words such as like or as), you are using a metaphor. If you extend that metaphor into several lines or stanzas within a poem, then you are using an extended metaphor, which commonly appears in epic poems such as The Odyssey or The Iliad.

3. Choose the word that best defines the italicized word from the novel Frankenstein.
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

D. uncivilized

Explanation:

Since no word is italicized, I'll explain the word "barbarous", it being the only word that could be troublesome. The word comes from Greek "barbaros" which was the term for people not speaking Greek.

Romans later took the word and in Latin it meant "the one who comes from outside of Roman Empire".

Basically, the term meant "foreigner". But, since these foreigners came from territories and tribes that were on a less cultural and civilizational level then Romans, this term soon denoted someone who is savage, uncivilized, brutal.
