A metaphor is a piece of figurative language that compares two unlike things without using the terms "like" or "as". Off the bat, you can eliminate B and C, because they include these words. Option A is a piece of prose, it makes no comparisons.
The answer is D, because it compares the subject, "I" (most likely a person), to a rock (which is not a person).
Answer can be on below areas
1. Microprocessor Manufacturing - Manufacturing has to be automated mainly for two things.
- Reduce error contribution with human intervention as we cannot design a process where the person will not fail. No such process exits.
- Precision and Repeatability of the product is a requirement.
2. Cleanup Effort in a toxic environment - This has to be automated with machinery as it is very risky to have human intervention and exposure to the chemicals.
Number of gallons of water produced each cay by the company = 7200 gallons
Number of 1 gallon bottles put in a carton = 8
Number of cartons needed to hold all the 1 gallon bottles in a day = 7200/8
= 900
So 900 cartons are required to hold all the one gallon bottles produced by the company in a day. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand. It is also important to carefully look at all the details that are provided in the question.
