"Then, in 2009, the cavalry arrived!" This is an example of,

a) Simile
b) Metaphor
c) Rhetorical question
d) Counterargument

Respuesta :

Answer:

B - metaphor

Explanation:

Cavalries did not exist in 2009, making it impossible for it to have been serious. This is not a response or a question, so it is not C or D. Similes use 'as' or 'like' so we can get rid of that.

A metaphor is used to describe something by saying it is something that it is not. The thing that happened is being compared to the cavalry arriving, but since it says 'in 2009', we know it isn't literal.

Answer:

Metaphor

Explanation:

Simile? No, the sentence isn't using like or as

Metaphor? Yes, the cavalry is, "used to refer to a source of help or rescue in an emergency, especially as a last resort." So it is comparing cavalry to help.

Rhetorical question? No, its not a question

Counterargument? No, there is not an opinion within this phrase.
