Question Type
Stated
The correct answer will be a metaphor mentioned in P2.
a
cattle drives
Cattle drives are mentioned, but they aren’t used as an image that represents something else. So cattle drives aren’t used as a metaphor.
b
mist
Supported by P2. The “mist” is a metaphor for the fight. “Thunderstorms” vs. “mist” is used to convey the difference between a tougher fight and the fight that the pursuers gave Cortez.
c
a cypress tree
Cypress tree is mentioned, but we have no reason to think it’s an image that represents something else. The poem just says the speaker is “in the shade of a cypress tree.” The speaker could be sitting under a tree.
d
a fight
A fight is mentioned, but it’s not the metaphor. “Thunderstorm” and “mist” are metaphors for fights.
e
stampedes
Stampedes are mentioned, but it’s not an image that represents something else. The author tells us that one corrido tells about stampedes caused by thunderstorms. But the poem could very well be about stampedes.
