Hello there!

"I was a shipwreck as I was getting ready for that presentation."

Correct answer C: metaphor.

A Metaphor is a figure of speech that makes an implicit or implied comparison between two things that are unrelated, but which share some common characteristics because of it's meaning.

In this case, shipwreck is a noun, and it means the sinking of a ship; failure and destruction. Someone can not be literally a shipwreck, but, metaphorically, it means they can be a failure.  :)

Hope this helps.

Which of the following is a trait of American romanticism? a. glorifying industrialization and modernization b. exploring the im
blsea [12.9K]

The correct answer is B. exploring the imagination and emotions of the individual.


C also can be correct, but if you need to choose just one answer, then I'd rather go with B. Romanticism in general is all about emotions, and the imagination that both the authors and the characters portray in their lives. A is all about Modernism, rather than Romanticism. D and E are all about Enlightenment and Classicism, rather than Romanticism.
