Metaphor has been used in this sentence because in an indirect way the lamp has been compared to experience of the speaker which helps and guides him during dark times.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Metaphor is one of the most commonly used devices in the literature by the writers or in the poems by the poets. It is one of the most interesting devices to be used which creates great impact on the reader of the story or the poem or where ever it is used.

The 3rd option.

Explanation:

The Warsaw Pact, so-named because it was established in Warsaw, was a military alliance between the Soviet Union and client states of Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. It allowed the Soviet Union to maintain forces in eastern Europe and organized forces of in the client states. The alliance was largely symbolic, as the Soviet Union dictated policy. It allowed the Soviet Union to maintain control of eastern Europe during the Cold War, but democratic revolutions in the client states in 1989 inspired similar revolutions in the Soviet Union. The Warsaw Pact and the Soviet Union both collapse in 1991.
