Answer:

D. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven by greed and evil.

Explanation:

Option D is the correct answer.

Looking at the excerpt, we see that Thoreau actually uses metaphor. He likens the government as a machine. As all machines have their friction, there is need for some good in order to counterbalance the evil. The author sees that when the friction comes is likened to when oppression and robbery are set in and organized.

Metaphor is actually a figure speech that is used to compare two things. It is done without the use of "as" and "like".

Read the following excerpt from Anne Frank Remembered by Miep Gies.
Rus_ich [418]

The correct answer is <u>B )Miep Gies’ determination to pick up all of Anne’s diary pages shows how dedicated to the Frank family she was.</u>



Miep was a good friend of the Frank family who helped hide them during World War II. After the disaster of the war and the whole family having been taken away to Auschwitz, Miep was determined to keep the memory of the family by saving every memento she could find about them and their life as described through Anne's writings. She cherished the opportunity she had to meet the Frank family in the first place and considered it important to save everything that could be saved related to this family.

This is a viewpoint that a prepared speaker could point out so as to show the significance of this character for the family and the extente of her devotion to them.
