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."

Read the synthesis example below.
Sati [7]

Answer:

The synthesize regarding John brown with respect to two articles are explained below.

Explanation:

After John Brown was hanged on multiple charges surrounding the abolition of slavery in 1859, there were different aspects on him, and there became a debate: on the one hand , people were in support of him and preferred him to be dead. But at the other side , people treated him as a hero.

Although the former claimed to be a murderer and traitor whose purpose was to take down a servile civil war, the other saw an example of true patriotism in him, someone who compromises himself for the liberation and survival of a hated people, that is, his brothers.
