government his country had. He was even

Answer:
Metaphor.
Explanation:
Metaphor is a figurative language that is used to compare two unlike things. Unlike similie, which uses words 'as' and 'like' to compare, metaphor compares implicitly.
The given sentence, "gadgets isolate us from the rest of the world" is an example of metaphor. The two things compared in this sentence is gadgets and isolate. Gadgets are compared to isolation. When someone is addicted to using gadgets, he/she separates herself/himself from the rest of the world.
Therefore, metaphor is the correct answer.
The correct answer is option A. TRUE. Interjections are used to express a strong or sudden thought. Usually interjections use the punctuation mark, exclamation point (!) because of the sudden emotion in speech. Examples of interjections that are commonly used in speech are, Aah!, Boo!, Oops!, Yahoo!, Ew! and Yeah!.
