Answer from: luis9527

Threatens to eliminate more sophisticated language.

Explanation:

Metaphors are the figures of speech in which a word or a phrase is applied to an object or to an action which to which it is not literally applicable. A comparison is done with the use of metaphor in which there is direct comparison of one thing with the other.

In this case also, the metaphor used endangered hatchlings is used to make a comparison with the sophisticated language which is nowhere related to the word itself.

In lines 26-27 ("Displaces ... nest"), the metaphor of "endangered hatchlings" suggests that "Like":

Threatens to eliminate more sophisticated language.

This question refers to the poem "Sestina: Like" by A. E. Stallings.The poem is a criticism to the excessive use of the word "like".The speaker ends each line with "like", showing how often and unnecessarily it is employed, especially in daily conversations.The author uses a metaphor in lines 26 and 27:

"Displaces other words: crowds, cuckoo-like,

Endangered hatchlings from the nest. (Click "like"

..."

What the author means is that the use of "like" makes the language poorer.Other words become endangered, so to speak, since they are now rarely used. Instead, they are constantly replaced with "like".The metaphor compares endangered hatchlings to those sophisticated words that are no longer used.
