Read the excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil Government":

All machines have their friction; and possibly this does
enough good to counterbalance the evil. At any rate, it is a
great evil to make a stir about it. But when the friction
comes to have its machine, and oppression and robbery
are organized, I say, let us not have such a machine any
longer.

Which statement about Thoreau's rhetorical style is most accurate?

A. He uses parallelism to compare the government to something soulless.

B. He uses parallelism to show how a remedy can be worse than the
evil.

C. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven
by greed and evil

D. He uses metaphor to prompt the reader to question his own
motivations

C. He uses metaphor to portray the government as something driven

by greed and evil

Explanation:

emerson essentially believes that traveling is overrated. he supports this perspective through an initial focus on "the idea" of places like italy, england, and egypt, and the fascination of "educated americans" with them. he argues that those places only took on the grand, majestic ideas that they represent because "they who made england, italy, or greece venerable in the imagination did so by sticking fast where they were, like an axis of the earth." yes, those places are grand, but only because they so clearly represent the places that they are. the art and culture of italy, england, and egypt is authentic, and therefore significant.
