Read the excerpt from "Aunty Misery." The doctors claimed no one bothered to come in for examinations or treatments anymore, because they did not fear
dying; the pharmacists' business suffered too because medicines are, like magic potions, bought to prevent or
postpone the inevitable; priests and undertakers were unhappy with the situation also, for obvious reasons.
What is the best explanation of the figurative language used in the underlined phrase?
Medicines are similar to magic potions because both are difficult and expensive to obtain.
Medicines can be compared to magic potions as a simile because both temporarily remove symptoms.
Medicines can be compared metaphorically to magic potions because both are used by doctors.
Medicines can be compared to magic potions because both contain examples of hyperbole.

the correct answer is:   [c]:

                    →     " leave it out. "  

hope this is to you!

        best wishes!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
