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.

Metaphor is basically used to make a direct comparison of one thing with the other which in general has no relation with each other. Making this comparison makes the text understandable and well read for the readers of the story or the poem. It has a great impact.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The government chooses representatives who will represent the will of the

people

Voting members choose candidates who they believe will represent their

issues in government,

Explanation:

Most people generally agree that anarchy, or the absence of organized government, does not facilitate a desirable living environment for society, but it is much harder for individuals to agree upon the particulars of how a population should be governed. Throughout history, various forms of government have evolved to suit the needs of changing populations and mindsets, each with pros and cons. Today, members of Western society hold that democracy is the most just and stable form of government, although former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once declared to the House of Commons, “Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time” (Shapiro 2006).

Natali5045456 [20]
The correct answer is <span>the tribute system required non-chinese to acknowledge chinese superiority and their own subordinate place in a chinese-centered world order

Basically, the Chinese people didn't need the rest of the world. They made a decision to say that to every other countries because the other countries needed China while China didn't need other countries. For this reason, Chinese interests always came first in every deal and if Europeans wanted something that was disliked in China they could kiss their wishes goodbye.</span>
