Answer:
Explanation:
First of all, I think it would do justice to me giving a very short explanation on what a Metaphor is.
A metaphor is a figure of speech that uses a word, often times a phrase, to refer or talk about a word. It states a direct similarity between a word or phrase being used, and the word or phrase being described without using the words "as" or "like."
That being said, I will pick out two of the metaphors in the poem.
1) "my stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin."
2) "I felt the life sliding out of me."
Answer is B.simile
The poet is comparing a year to a Ferris wheel without using the words "as or like"

Shirley Jackson told: "the idea for "The Lottery" had come to me while I was pushing my daughter up the hill in her stroller—it was, as I say, a warm morning, and the hill was steep, and besides my daughter, the stroller held the day’s groceries—and perhaps the effort of that last 50 yards up the hill put an edge to the story.”
Explanation:
"The Lottery" is a short story written by Shirley Jackson in which members of a small community join together every year to follow a tradition according to which, randomly, the destiny of one of them is decided. The raffler winner is stoned to the dead to ensure prosperity for the whole village. The title is a clear instance of irony.
