I would say C: Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..

Fittoniya [83]
Rabbits are little warm blooded animals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in a few sections of the world. There are eight distinct genera in the family named rabbits, including the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cottontail rabbits (sort Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the Amami rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an imperiled species on Amami Ōshima, Japan). There are numerous different types of rabbit, and these, alongside pikas and bunnies, make up the request Lagomorpha. The male is known as a buck and the female is a doe; a youthful rabbit is a cat or unit.

Rabbit territories incorporate knolls, woods, backwoods, prairies, deserts and wetlands.[1] Rabbits live in gatherings, and the best known species, the European rabbit, lives in underground tunnels, or rabbit openings. A gathering of tunnels is known as a warren.[1]

Which best explains London’s purpose for comparing the consequences of stealing for a man and for a husky?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Not sure but can narrow it down

Explanation:

I don't have enough info to be sure about the answer. I don't know if there is an article or passage to read. If there is, please upload it so I can help you further. I think the answer should be either the first choice or the last choice. If you want to persuade readers that huskies sometimes steal food from humans, in order to compare the consequences, it could be to open up someone's eyes as to what they are doing is wrong. It would be like asking a thief, how would you feel if a husky snatched your filet mignon off of your plate? They would hopefully see that it wouldn't feel good, therefore they shouldn't steal because it will hurt someone else.

The option that says they want to persuade readers that humans and huskies are treated as equals, in my opinion, means that if we would give consequences to a dog such as scolding him, a human should also receive some sort of consequence.
