Question

which selection from the text is an example of an analogy?
liams white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball. the kittens 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 liams 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. liams white kitten lay curled up on the sofa like a snowball.
b. her feisty personality suggested that perhaps stormy might be more appropriate.
c. the kitten was a mini - tornado.
d. the white ball of fur pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its power with thunder and lightning.

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison between two things to show a similarity. Option D compares the kitten's actions (pouncing and hissing) to a storm's actions (showing power with thunder and lightning). Option A is a simile (uses "like"), Option B is a statement about a name, and Option C is a metaphor.

Answer:

D. The white ball of fur pounced and hissed commandingly, just as a sudden storm shows its power with thunder and lightning.
