Which of the following lines from "chicago" is an example of metaphor? a. tool maker, stacker of wheat, b. they tell me you are wicked and i believe them, c. here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities; d. under the terrible burden of destiny laughing as a young man laughs,

C. Here is a tall bold slugger set vivid against the little soft cities;

Explanation:

The poem "Chicago" by Carl Sandburg elaborates the city with a sense of pride and personifies it with using words like "Tool maker", "Stacker of Wheat", "Hog Butcher" and many more. He further goes on to describe the city life and the metaphor that he used in the poem out of these options is "tall bold slugger" as he compares the man to it. As we know, a metaphor is employed to symbolize the meaning and similarly, this metaphor signifies and accomplishes the poet's aim to glorify the energy of the American working class. Thus, the option C is correct.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
