Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of language that consists in the use of a word or expression with the sense of another with which it is possible to establish a relation of similarity.

In "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot, the metaphor compares the valley of hollow men with a broken jaw, to convey a sense of discomfort to the reader, and to show that the valley of hollow men is not a pleasant place.

The part of the poem where this comparison happens is:

"The eyes are not here

Here the eyes do not shine

In this valley of tibial stars

In this helpless valley

This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms."

my best guess would be: d allusion

makes the most sense

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
