Explanation:

Janet S. Wong's poem "Hard on the Gas" is an example of very effective use of metaphor.

The author tells about her father's learning to drive and eventual driving. She states he learned himself to drive and that his drive was never easy.

This is a way in which she talks about his life. We can infer that he had to go through life alone and he had to learn to take care for himself (maybe his parents died early). It is also suggested that his life was never easy and that it was constant fight.

So, by explaining one thing, the author explains us his father's life in comparing these two things.

on edge the anser is C. life to driving

Explanation:

in a place once known as north america, now known as panem, is a very rich city surrounded by twelve districts. every year because this very rich city, known as the capitol, is so rich and likes to think they control all the districts - which they do - there is something known as the hunger games! this is where two children, one boy and one girl from each district from the ages of twelve to eighteen, have to leave their families and compete in the hunger games, a live event that is aired on tv's all over panem. when katniss everdeen, aged sixteen from district 12, has to volunteer to take the place of her twelve-year-old sister prim after prim's name is called forth to become the 23rd member to compete in the 74th hunger games, she promises to prim that she will win! katniss doesn't believe she's coming out alive - but she's not going down without a fight.

because district 12 is so poor, katniss has been close to death many times from starvation but she's made it through it. but this is a different kind of close to death; this katniss doesn't know if she can survive.

she doesn't want to hurt, or kill anyone but when it comes down to it katniss' instinct is to survive. but when she starts to have confusing feelings about the boy from her district who is also her fellow contender, things get worse, and then she teams up with the girl from district 11 and only one person can survive. but who will it be? will her feelings get the better of her? will she let someone else win so they don't have to die? if katniss is going to win she's going to have to be brutal. she's going to have to kill!
