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
