Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people.

Which of the following statements best describes this paragraph?

A. The paragraph contains categories of comparison.

B. The paragraph contains a simile.

C. The paragraph contains no text connections.

D. The paragraph contains an analogy.

An analogy is a comparison between one thing, people or situation to another that have similar features, and that is often made to explain or clarify a principle or idea. The paragraph, then, contains this type of comparison as it compares a particular situation of a family: someone who will not get what they wanted for dinner because the rest of the family wanted a different meal, to another situation involving a community, in which some citizens have to give up a right for the good of the people.

Likewise, this analogy can convey several messages like the idea that the interests of a majority often prevail over the interest of a minority, and that a person's freedom is often limited by other person's freedom.
