Read the paragraph. After the final battle, rumor had it that a few renegades had slipped off into the forest to avoid capture.
These sneaky rogues have continually eluded capture. The leaders of the empire are worried that the rebels will form a resistance movement first. Which sentence would be the best addition to the end of the paragraph?
"Then the rebels will overcome the empire's troops and take the city."
This is the answer because it is still hypothetical. The other options imply that it has already happened or is happening, however it is just the fear of the leaders.
(Also, for curiosity's sake- what is the context? It sounds like Star Wars.)
The line from "To my Dear Loving Husband" that contains a metaphor is B. "My love is such that rivers cannot quench," A metaphor is when you compare two things without using <em>like </em>or <em>as.</em>
"Cowards die many times before their deaths," try to imagine how someone can "die many times" before dying. You can tell right away that Shakespeare is using death as a metaphor (because no one can physically die more than once in their lifetime).
The second part of the quote: Shakespeare is implying that a brave person only dies once, which most likely refers to when he or she dies physically. So, in this part of the quotation, Shakespeare isn't using death as a metaphor.
