Question

which strategy could be used to determine the meaning of an analogy? (1 point)
○ determine whether another comparison could be added.
○ find language that is literal.
○ rewrite the analogy in literal terms.
○ analyze the connection between what is being compared.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of an analogy, we analyze the relationship between the two (or more) things being compared. Let's evaluate each option:

• "Determine whether another comparison could be added" doesn't help in understanding the existing analogy's meaning.
• "Find language that is literal" is not relevant as analogies use figurative language, and finding literal language won't clarify the analogy.
• "Rewrite the analogy in literal terms" might lose the intended comparative meaning of the analogy.
• "Analyze the connection between what is being compared" is the correct approach because understanding the relationship (connection) between the compared elements reveals the analogy's meaning.

Answer:

D. Analyze the connection between what is being compared.
