Answer:

A. Metaphor

Explanation:

A metaphor is a figure of speech that asserts that one element (person, animal, thing, quality, event, etc.) is similar to another element, not literally but figuratively. They are similar to similes except that metaphors do not use words such as "like" or "as" to make the comparison.

The excerpt provided has a metaphor because it figuratively compares Clegg Simmons to "one smart cookie."

"The idea that women should be protected from the harsh realities of life." This 1850s social norm is reflected in the excerpt "Ain't I a Woman?" about white women.

"Ain't I a Woman?" it is written by Sojourner Truth, who born into slavery in Swartekill, New York. She became a well known anti-slavery speaker sometime after gaining her freedom in 1827. Her speech was delivered at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio, on May 29, 1851.

The main idea of "Ain't I a Woman?" is The women present were encouraged to ask for the right to vote. The purpose of the speech is to convince the audience that giving women the right to vote is common sense.

Hence, the correct answer is "The idea that women should be protected from the harsh realities of life."
