Which statement best describes how the use of metaphor supports the meaning of this passage?
Liam's white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball. The
kitten's white fur had earned her the name Frosty the Snowman, but
her feisty personality suggested that perhaps "Stormy" might be more
appropriate. In just a few days, Frosty had pulled down the curtains in
Liam's bedroom, knocked a vase off the bookshelf, and sent the family
dog into hiding. The kitten was a mini-tornado. The white ball of fur
pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its
power with thunder and lightning.
A. The metaphor the kitten was a mini-tornado' gives the reader an
understanding of the kitten's personality by comparing her to
something chaotic and destructive.
B. The metaphor the kitten was a mini-tornado' creates an image for
the reader that focuses on the kitten's physical beauty and playful,
unpredictable nature
C. The metaphor 'shows its power with thunder and lightning
describes an angry relationship, to help the reader better
understand the interactions between Liam and the kitten
D. The metaphor 'shows its power with thunder and lightning
enhances the reader's enjoyment by creating a comical view of the
Kitten

Chicago by carl sandburg hog butcher for the world, tool maker, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and the nation's freight handler; stormy, husky, brawling, city of the big shoulders: they tell me you are wicked and i believe them, for i have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys. and they tell me you are crooked and i yes, it is true i have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again. and they tell me you are brutal and my reply is: on the faces of women and children i have seen the marks of wanton hunger. and having answered so i turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and i give them back the sneer and say to them: come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning. flinging magnetic curses amid the toil of piling job on job, here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; fierce as a dog with tongue lapping for action, cunning as a savage pitted against the wilderness, bareheaded, shoveling, wrecking, planning, building, breaking, rebuilding, under the smoke, dust all over his mouth, laughing with white teeth, under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs, laughing even as an ignorant fighter laughs who has never lost a battle, bragging and laughing that under his wrist is the pulse. and under his ribs the heart of the people, laughing! laughing the stormy, husky, brawling laughter of youth, half-naked, sweating, proud to be hog butcher, tool maker, stacker of wheat, player with railroads and freight handler to the nation. which type of figurative language does the poet use most often in "chicago"? a. rhyme b. simile c. metaphor d. personification
