Post again, bit this time ask what exactly you're being asked to do.
Does that say to write a story of a world-dominating squirrel? Conflict statement....
Stormy rainy, pretty much anything but bright sunny and happy.
The answer is A, cause/effect. Marcia is focusing on how the war started, what ended it, and how it affected America. Cause/effect covers all these things, while the other answers either skip over these things completely or concentrate on only a few.
The answer is D. Metaphor
A metaphor a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. Unlike a simile, it doesn’t use the words like or as to compare to things. So when you look at the sentence it says “The goalkeeper was a rock...” We know that the goalkeeper isn’t actually a rock, but the sentence is comparing the goal keeper to a rock without using the words “like or as”
