Fugitive slaves also known as Runaway slaves were the slaves who left their masters and travelled without authorization. These slaves wanted to reach the territories that were free of slavery. After the 1850 Missouri Compromise, slavery was banned in Northern States and slaves from Southern states tried to get to northern sates. This new law forcibly compelled citizens to assist in the capture of runaway slaves.
The correct answer is A. Odyssean journey
This is an allusion to the great Greek epic Odyssey, and requires people to know what happens in the Odyssey to understand.
The first one about the machine is a metaphor, because there are no key words such as "like" or "as", so it cant be a simile. And its not comparing anything either, so it cant be an analogy. The second one about the teacher is also a metaphor. The gazelle one is a simile because it has the key word like in it. The triangle one is an analogy, because it is comparing two things. The last one is a simile, because he fought "like" a wild animal.
Hope this helps!
