Select the correct text in the passage. Which parts of the sentence are metaphors?
"When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument the
women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house, which no one save an old man-servant-a combined gardener and cook-had
seen in at least ten years. It was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies
in the heavily lightsome style of the seventies, set on what had once been our most select street. But garages and cotton gins had encroached
and obliterated even the august names of that neighborhood; only Miss Emily's house was left lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above
the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps-an eyesore among eyesores. And now Miss Emily had gone to join the representatives of those
august names where they lay in the cedar-bemused cemetery among the ranked and anonymous graves of Union and Confederate soldiers
who fell at the battle of Jefferson."
From "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner
