Question

what does the word analogy mean as it might be used in an informational text?
o a comparison that an author uses to show how two things are similar
o a comparison that uses sensory language that is not explained by the author
o a reference to a well-known literary or history figure or text
o a substitution between two equivalent concepts or things

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison that shows how two things are similar. It helps in explaining complex ideas by relating them to something more familiar. The other options are incorrect: sensory language not explained is more like imagery without context; a reference to a well - known figure is an allusion; substitution between equivalent concepts is not the definition of analogy.

Answer:

a comparison that an author uses to show how two things are similar
