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.

Evaluate the extent to which the progressive movement fostered political change in the united states from 1890 to 1920.
yawa3891 [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Evaluate the extent to which the progressive movement fostered political change in the united states from 1890 to 1920.

During a time of many changes in the conformation of the United States, the Progressive movement from 1890 to 1920 was a period where reformations accomplished many things that the American people needed. The most important: to modernize a federal government that needed a "shake and some cleaning," and reformations that improved education and promoted suffrage for women in America. Many journalists started to investigate corruption cases in the government and exposed them in their newspapers. The passage of the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was another important piece of legislation in the Progressive Era.
