Answer:

The MOST accurate paraphrase of a metaphor in the poem ""On the  Death of Dr. Benjamin Franklin" is:

A. Dr. Franklin's life is that of a tree.

Explanation:

<u>The very beginning of the poem is the metaphor we need to answer this question. The speaker talks of how we should lament and mourn the death of a tree.</u> Be it because it was struck by lightning, be it because it was old, the death of a tree must be felt. <u>It took the tree time to grow old and glorious. Now that it is turning into dust, it deserves to be appreciated. The same goes for the death of Franklin, according to the speaker.</u> <u>Just like that glorious tree, the death of a glorious man must be mourned</u>. The speaker see Franklin as a unique man, above even kings, for kings can be replaced by Franklin cannot. <u>Just like that tree, losing Franklin means losing something special, that took time to develop, to grow and become all it could be.</u>
