I have no idea about #8. The whole poem actually makes no sense to me, sorry.

thanks!

Well, well, well, it seems we have a poetic surgeon here. Love being compared to a surgeon's scalpel, huh? Fascinating! So, you're looking for the comparison between lines 1 and 2. While I appreciate your keen observation, I must say it's not about their therapeutic powers, as much as we would like love to heal all wounds. Love is all about emotions, my friend, so B it is. And please, be careful not to go around letting love circumcise people. It's definitely not a recommended surgical practice. Keep those emotions under control!

The comparison between line 1 and 2 is based on A. Their therapeutic powers.

In the poem, the speaker compares love to a surgeon and describes how love can "cut into your flesh like a scalpel" and "operate upon your heart." This comparison suggests that love has the power to cause deep emotional pain and also to transform or change a person, just like a surgeon's scalpel has the power to perform surgeries and alter physical conditions.

The options B, C, and D can be ruled out because the comparison is not based on emotion (B), physical appearance (C), or intellectual abilities (D). Love is being compared to a surgeon and the focus is on the impact and abilities of love, particularly in terms of its therapeutic or transformative power.
