Question

The traffic was unorganized chaos where only the people from Bucharest truly understood the rules of the road. The cars sped through the city streets like lightning bolts, and anyone unfamiliar with the underlying rhythm would surely be obliterated by the impact of oncoming vehicles if they let themselves get in the way. It was a dance, and only those trained since birth were able to achieve driving success in this Transylvanian world where cars truly are the kings of the road.Use the paragraph to answer the question.%0D%0A%0D%0AWhich best describes how the figurative language in this paragraph relates to its cultural setting?%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AThe use of personification helps the reader understand the importance of cars in Bucharest.%0D%0AThe use of personification helps the reader understand the importance of cars in Bucharest.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe use of imagery helps the reader understand the reasons that people should avoid visiting Bucharest.%0D%0AThe use of imagery helps the reader understand the reasons that people should avoid visiting Bucharest.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe use of metaphors helps the reader understand why most people travel by automobile in Bucharest.%0D%0AThe use of metaphors helps the reader understand why most people travel by automobile in Bucharest.%0D%0A%0D%0AThe use of similes helps the reader know why traffic often is at a standstill in Bucharest.

Answer 1

The use of metaphors helps the reader understand why most people travel by automobile in Bucharest. The paragraph’s metaphors (“a dance,” “kings of the road”) emphasize a driving-centered culture and the dominance of cars.
