The answer is option (C). When "Uncle Tom’s Cabin," a novel opposing slavery written by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, made its debut, it became the most popular book of the 19th century, following only the Bible in sales. Will Kaufman commented that this work "contributed significantly to the onset of the Civil War."
Answer:
A simile serves as a literary technique that draws a comparison between two distinct entities using 'like' or 'as' to clarify or explain to the reader.
In the provided simile, the author likens the 'sound of formidable words' to the 'sound of trapezes in full swing,' indicating that the author finds learning these words exceptionally challenging and conveys a sense of negative emotion. The term 'formidable' connotes something daunting or fearsome, suggesting the author is facing a distressing experience, further emphasized by the mention of 'trapezes in full swing' which symbolizes how perplexing and arduous these words are to grasp.
I believe option b is the most suitable.
Except for option A, all other sentences are framed as commands (which are used for instructions or directives). In these situations, the call to action is clear rather than implied. Your best selection is option A, as it uniquely stands out, providing a persuasive appeal based on collective agreement. In summary, it suggests that instead of directing you to act, it indicates a collective behavior, likely encouraging you to follow suit to align with others.
