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 emphasizes safety by comparing the cost in dollars to the cost
in lives
o
b. it compares the construction of the cell phone tower to a familiar
example.
o
c. it makes a comparison between two unlike things: a trojan horse
and a wall
o
d. it plays on the sound of words such as "comcorp' in order to be
memorable
