Question

what does the metaphor in this text suggest? when keenan lost his job, he was devastated. the only light in the sea of darkness was the prospect of pursuing a new career. there was a benefit to keenans job loss. keenan felt in the dark about what to do after losing his job.

Explanation:

The metaphor "sea of darkness" represents Keenan's devastation from job loss, and "light" is the new career prospect. This suggests the job loss had a positive aspect (the new career opportunity), not that he was unsure what to do (the "light" shows a clear prospect, contradicting the second option).

Answer:

There was a benefit to Keenan's job loss.
