Read the excerpt below from the poem "Prayer of a Soldier in France." What metaphor or comparison is the writer making? Men shout at me who may not speak
(They scourged Thy back and smote Thy cheek).

I may not lift a hand to clear
My eyes of salty drops that sear.

(Then shall my fickle soul forget
Thy agony of Bloody Sweat?)

My rifle hand is stiff and numb
(From Thy pierced palm red rivers come)
Question 6 options:

he is comparing the men shouting to the salty tears

he is comparing his experience as a soldier to Jesus' suffering on the cross

he compares his experience in war with his rifle and shooting

he compares the horrors of war with the adventure of coming home
