Question

Which passage from Kennedy’s inaugural address is a metaphor? “And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.” “To our sister republics south of our border, we offer a special pledge—to convert our good words into good deeds . . . .” “For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.” “Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.”

Answer 1

Answer:

“And let every other power know that this Hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house.”

Explanation:

This is the passage from Kennedy’s inaugural address that is a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly refers to one thing by mentioning another one. It allows us to make a comparison between two unlike objects. In this sentence, Kennedy compares a region with a house, and its people with the master of the house, in order to convey the importance of self-government and self-determination.
