I don't know the topic, but I can try to put the question into simpler words.

Question

Part A. - Name examples that are more recent of 'maintaining a dread of punishment' that was used to punish people or groups of people (like a civilization or organization).

Part B. - Do you think using these punishments are a helpful strategy in leadership?

Summary

I think it's asking for recent examples of these punishments and your opinion on the effectiveness. I hope this helps you out a little bit. I have ADHD too and I understand that it can be frustrating. Hang in there! :)

Metaphor is the use of words to directly compare to dissimilar things, qualities or persons. For example, "John is a lion" compares John directly to a lion.

Please note that your answer is incomplete, so I am giving you a general overview which should enable you get the correct answer.

Metaphor should not be confused for Simile, because even though they both make comparisons, simile uses "like" or "as" to convey the comparison, metaphor compares directly.

There are four types of metaphor which are: Standard, Implied, Visual and Extended Metaphor.
