The lines that contain metaphors are:


1)“My thoughts of you are golden coins”


2) “Stamped in the mint of memory”


A metaphor is a literary device that makes an implicit comparison between unrelated items or ideas. Despite of the fact that they seem to differ in many respects, there is a hidden connection between them. It differs from others figures of speech; namely Simile as it refers to an explicit comparison (use of “like” or “as”) that is established between to ideas or items.

In this particular poem, the author says that her thought is a very valuable treasure to her, especially because they are related to a special person to her. For this reason, the author makes a comparison between her thoughts and the treasured golden coins. Then, she continues adding another metaphor. She says that these precious memories will never disappear as they kept in her memory as golden coins are safe and properly stored in a mint.

How do other countries view South Africa now, compared with how they viewed it in the past?
zaharov [31]
This is a complicated matter.  The answer depends upon the particular country and, moreover, who is making the assessment.  In some nations, the general thought is that South Africa serves as the model of a nation that overcame - rather quickly - its racist and fascist leadership.  Other nations - especially those in Western Europe - feel that South Africa, as a nation, still has plenty of strides to make toward racial equality and, moreover, making reparations for past injustices.

Which interpretation is a possible theme of Ovid’s “The story of Daedalus and Icarus”
babunello [35]

The correct answer is C.

A possible theme of Ovid's "The Story of Daedalus and Icarus" is how human creativity can lead to amazing discoveries, gagdets and inventions; but at the same time these can easily lead to pain and suffering if used in the wrong way.

In the story, Daeadalus was a great inventor, but it was his own device that caused his son's death. Icarus' recklessness lead him to ignore his father's warnings about flying too high or too low, and his wrong usage of the man-made wings lead him to his doom.
