Answer:

Theseus sets himself up to battle the Minotaur.

Explanation:

This excerpt refers to a story "Cruel Tribute" from James Baldwin's collection of stories based on Greek mythology.

Basically, story goes as this; King of Crete's son was killed by Athenians. Now the King faced them with a choice: either he will destroy the Athens or Athenians will send him 7 men and 7 women each year as a tribute to Minotaur, a monster that lives in a labyrinth in Crete.

After many years, Theseus grew up and volunteered to sail to Crete as one of the 7 men with the goal to kill the beast and end this cruel tradition.

8090 [49]

Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind. I recommend you rewrite this paragraph. So, not to be caught for plagiarism, please, check how this can be written by the experts at Primewriting site. | love these guys.

Let's look at lines 17-19 again:

<span>17. Its letters, although naturally lying
18. Like the knight Pinto-Mendez Ferdinando-
19. Still form a synonym for Truth-Cease trying!
 
The crucial word here is "like" - it means that the letters are "like" - compared to the knight. A direct comparison such as this one is a Simile - this is the correct answer.

A metaphor is similar to a simile in that it treats something as if it was another thing, but it does not include a direct  comparison.

lyudmila [28]
The technique that this sentence best illustrates is understatement.
Understatement means that you are not showing the full 'strength' of something, but it is rather understated - so here, the coach only said that 'he was glad' even though his team won the Super Bowl, which is a huge deal. So his emotions should have been way stronger.
