Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian, two of his greatest works are: "Resistance to Civil Government" (also known as "Civil Disobedience") and "The Mask of Anarchy". His ideals can be summarized by this statement: “the Government should not have more power than the bestowed by its citizens”.

Henry David Thoreau was even imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes in protest for the Mexican-American War and the slavery.

In this passage from Walden,  Thoreau the analogy is:

He is comparing life to a moving train

Here we have the evidence to support the analogy:

Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing <u>that falls on the rails.</u>

Identify the one illogical comparison among the following examples.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:D. She runs more faster than her brother.

Explanation:

I wrote you in the details what are the examples that are missing in your question.

Because we are talking about illogical comparison, the correct answer it D.

It is the only sentence in examples that is grammatically incorrect so it doesn't make much logic. The word ''more'' is used wrongly and word ''faster'' is enough in this sentence because it is describing how is she running.
