Hey there, Monet :)
A metaphor is a type of figurative language that compares two things, but unlike a simile, it doesn't use the words "like" or "as".
This is comparing our Earth to perhaps the vastness of our universe, which is done often- perhaps the most prominently in Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot speech, which I think could really help you make some connections.
Hope this helps! :)
The correct answer is the cause/effect relationship
Explanation:
In the sentence " The roads of New Orleans remained flooded due to the hurricane", the word "due to" shows that the first element "The roads of New Orleans remained flooded" is a consequence of the second element "the hurricane". This means it was the hurricane the one that caused the flood, and in the same way the flood is an effect of the hurricane. In this context, the phrase shows a cause/effect relationship between the flooded roads and the hurricane.
Answer:
Diane couldn't concentrate on General Hospital because Santana, her beagle who had been cooped up in the house all day, wanted to take a long walk around the lake.

I think concluding paragraph
Last year, I had a chance to visit Agra with my uncle’s family. As soon as I got the invitation, I accepted it because Agra has been a great centre for art and architecture from the Mughal period. It goes to Akbar’s credit to transform Agra into a great city of cultural and historical importance. Interestingly, these monuments have the depictions of both Hindu and Islamic cultures and architectures. History stands testimony that the old brick fort of Sikandar Lodhi was dismantled by Akbar and a magnificent fortress of rust coloured sandstone was built. For the same reason, the ‘Fort of Agra’ is also known as ‘Lai Quila’. This fort was built by Akbar, in AD 1565. It took 8 years to be completed.
The fort is said to have 500 buildings in the style of Bengali and Gujarati architecture. This is what Akbar’s historian Abul Fazal had recorded. But unfortunately only a few survive today and the successors of Akbar too subsequently made a few changes and additions. The fort stands on the banks of the river Yamuna with double walls to protect it. These walls are very high.
