Question

which situation is an example of symbolism? comparing a person to a beautiful day in summer stating that an eagle is like a majestic warrior describing how the fog creeps into a town on quiet little feet using the rise of the tide to represent a change in the world

Explanation:

Symbolism uses a concrete object/action to represent an abstract idea. The first three options are similes or personification: comparing two things with "like" or giving human traits to non-humans. Only the last option uses a concrete natural event (tide rise) to stand for an abstract concept (world change).

Answer:

using the rise of the tide to represent a change in the world
