d. the paragraph contains an analogy.

D. The paragraph contains an analogy.

Explanation:

An analogy is a comparison between one thing, people or situation to another that have similar features, and that is often made to explain or clarify a principle or idea. The paragraph, then, contains this type of comparison as it compares a particular situation of a family: someone who will not get what they wanted for dinner because the rest of the family wanted a different meal, to another situation involving a community, in which some citizens have to give up a right for the good of the people.

Likewise, this analogy can convey several messages like the idea that the interests of a majority often prevail over the interest of a minority, and that a person's freedom is often limited by other person's freedom.

i think one answer could be this poet uses no rhyme.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
