I believe the correct answer is It compares an experience to a method of torture.
The author is trying to compare slavery to hell - he isn't comparing it to the actual physical gate, but rather what lies beyond the gate. He thinks slavery, and what slaves had to go through is akin to hell, or at least our depiction of it.

"as Kenneth sat down on the rickety old chair, it abruptly collapsed beneath him" what kind if sentence is this
EastWind [94]

Answer:

It is a complex sentence.

Explanation:

There are  four basic types of sentences: simple, compound, complex, and compound-complex.

A complex sentence has one independent clause joined to a dependent clause by a subordinating conjunction.

An independent clause has a subject and a predicate, and can stand alone as a sentence, as it makes complete sense.  A dependent clause cannot stand alone.

In this case, "Kenneth sat down on the rickety old chair" is an example of an independent clause.  "as it abruptly collapsed beneath him" is a dependent clause.
