Answer:
Explanation:
A simile is a figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as." Jacques, the speaker, uses several similes throughout the speech "The Seven Ages of Man" to compare various stages of man's life to different things. Discussing the second stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile when he compares a whining schoolboy reluctantly walking to class to a snail ("creeping like a snail"). Just as a snail moves slowly, the disgruntled boy reluctantly walks to school. In the third stage of man's life, the adolescent male is "sighing like furnace," which expresses the hot passions of young love. Discussing the fourth stage of man's life, the speaker uses a simile to describe a soldier's facial features by writing that it is "bearded like a pard." A "pard" is an old word for a leopard. Shakespeare is essentially saying that the young solider's beard is patchy and spotted like a leopard's coat.
The answer is c. courtroom : lawyer.
The original analogy, football field : head coach, is comparing a workplace to a profession that would work in that workplace. A, B, and D don't fit that description (A is comparing two similar professions, B is comparing a job with a task that person would do, and D is comparing two people) so C is your best option (it, too, follows the format of workplace : profession.)
Hope this helps!

Answer: Willy believes that, provided he works hard, he will be successful.
Explanation:
<em>Death of a Salesman</em> is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. The play tells the story of a man named Willy, and his attempt to provide for his family and leave a legacy after his death.
Willy's personal philosophy is that if he works hard and is persistent enough, his dreams will come true. He is convinced that if he believes in his dreams, he will be successful. Unfortunately, Willy learns that the reality is somewhat different, as there are obstacles to achieving our goals. There are inhibitions that prevent him from reaching financial security. As Willy lives in a world where success is embodied in the amount of money one has, his failure to conform to the society norms leads to his death. Willy's character, in this way, becomes a symbol for the failure of the American Dream during the post World War II era.
