Irealize that allowing comcorp to erect a cell phone tower
next to the high school will bring our town thousands of
dollars. but until we know the full details of the safety of
this operation, we must stand firm against its
construction. this proposal is a trojan horse waiting
outside our city walls, and we cannot bring it inside until
we see what is hidden within.
how does the use of metaphor contribute to the effectiveness of this
argument?
o
a. it compares the construction of the cell phone tower to a familiar
example.
b. it emphasizes safety by comparing the cost in dollars to the cost
in lives.
o
c. it plays on the sound of words such as "comcorp" in order to be
memorable.
o
o
d. it makes a comparison between two unlike things: a trojan horse
and a wall.
