Question 14 of 20
Read the excerpt from Henry David Thoreau's "Resistance to Civil
Government':
The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly
but as machines, with their bodies. ... Such command no
more respect than men of straw or a lump of dirt. They
have the same sort of worth only as horses and dogs. Yet
such as these even are commonly esteemed good
citizens.
Which statement about Thoreau's rhetorical style is most accurate?
O A He uses metaphor to show how little the government values its
citizens.
He uses parallelism to argue that people should not be judged by
appearances
O He uses parallelism to compare people to animals and inanimate
objects
O R He uses metaphor to show how Americans should serve the
government
