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>

Read the excerpt from The Ancient City.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The main idea of the paragraph is:

A. Many Greek towns held sporting events with similar games.

Explanation:

When writing a paragraph, we mention the main idea along the first lines and then develop and support that idea in the following lines. In the paragraph we are analyzing here, the author's main idea is expressed in the very first sentence, "The Panathenaic Games was only one of several great religious sporting events held in Greece." From that point on, the author mentions the other several games that were held in Greece. He/She does include minor facts such as the cities where they were held, who could participate, and what sort of differences there could be between them. But the main reason for mentioning all those games is to provide evidence and support to the main idea that the Panathenaic was only of several sporting events.
