Answer:

A). Metaphors fail when they have been used so often that readers gain nothing new from them.

Explanation:

Metaphors are demonstrated as one of the most commonly employed literary devices that involve an implicit comparison between two distinct things sharing common characteristics. For example, she is the moon(girl and moon are completely distinct from each other but share the common characteristic of bringing light in the darkness).

As per the question, metaphor fails 'when they are employed so often that the readers gain nothing new from them.' Metaphors are primarily employed to offer <u>an implicit or symbolic comparison that not only helps the reader transform their understanding but also artistically provides them 'an intrinsic pleasure and transcend the boundaries of literal meaning.' But if they are used so frequently that readers stop gaining that pleasure, experience, and understanding metaphors fail</u>. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.

Makovka662 [10]

The author develops the central idea by showing how a flying car would work and how it would benefit society.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Compare Themes of the Two Poems
ycow [4]

<u>Incomplete question. However, I inferred this to be the full question;</u>

Compare and contrast the themes of the poems “Ulysses” and the “Lady of Shalott,” and analyze how the poet incorporates Victorian ideals into the themes.

Answer:

<u>Both poems address the relationship between a woman and a man.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the poem “Ulysses” by Tennyson we notice a focus about an individual's pursuit for knowledge and experience. Ulysses (a male character) feels that he must look beyond his challenges by seeking new experiences.

In the poem "The Lady of Shalott" also focuses on taking risks to overcome challenges. However, both poems shed some light on the relationship between men and women incorporating the Victorian view of acquiring knowledge which sees women as merely serving their duty in her home and family, and that her interactions with the world is not permissible.

How do simile and metaphor differ in their approaches to creating experience for a reader?
victus00 [196]
<span>A metaphor can be used to replace one idea with another.  For example, a tsunami can be described as a "wave of destruction" for the damage that it causes.  It implies a comparison.  A simile establishes the comparison of ideas.  An endless torrent of rain flooded the valley like a tsunami.</span>
