In the story, "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin, Barton the pilot wanted to save Marilyn, the 18 year old girl who was considered an EDS stowaway. He most likely will not succeed because the mission he was carrying out would fail and ultimately kill a lot of people. The girl wanted to meet her brother and talk to him. The story shows events with restriction wherein a hero defies the restriction and tries to save the girl in the process, despite the negative feedback from the government pertaining a law to throw the girl off the ship. In the end, the girl accepted her fate, and after talking with her brother, she was ejected off the ship.
Considering that:
- Apostrophe is the device used to address a third party in the text;
- An extended metaphor is used when the author draws a comparison between two unlike elements throughout a series of sentences or lines;
- Synecdoche is the device used when a part of something represents the whole;
- A rethorical question is the one that is asked but without expecting a real answer;
<u>Apostrophe </u>and <u>rethorical question</u> are the literarty devices present in this line.
The CORRECT answer would be, "Maria saw an emergency vehicle racing down the street with sirens blaring."
