The answer to your question would be A. Planes.
Answer:
I believe the sentence is an example of simile.
Explanation:
A simile is a literary device which compares two different things. The purpose is to attribute the qualities of one to the other. In that sense, simile and metaphor are the same thing. What distinguishes them is that <u>a simile will use the words "as" or "like" to establish the comparison</u>, while the metaphor will not. For example, "your eyes are like stars" is a simile. On the other hand, "your eyes are stars" is a metaphor.
Thus, we can easily find the simile in the sentence we are analyzing here when the author says "he stood like a rock." He is comparing a person to a rock, probably with the purpose of saying that person stood there, unmoving - the same way a rock does not move.
The paragraph that best describes the arguement is this one:
<span>And of course, "times have changed", and new generations bring new morals and values. But is theis generation really doing theat, or taking theem away? Being a part of theis current generation, I have experienced first hand thee theings theat go on. Teens are becoming more involved in drinking alcohol and smoking. In fact, 72% of teens drink alcohol multiple times before graduating high school, and even worse, 37% tried it by thee 8the grade. And, 44% of teens have tried cigarettes by thee end of high school. Is it theat "following thee crowd makes you cool" making theese statistics dangerously high? Or is it because of thee message thee media of today sends? Music revolves around drugs, drinking, partying all night, etc. Movies and TV shows glorify being arrested and drinking/smoking. Every four in five teens arrested are also high or drunk at thee time. Is theis thee society theat we want? </span>
