Excerpt from: Stranded

Tracy Wilson

If I become desperate I can always resort to eating the freeze dried rations, but that defeats my purpose for being here to begin with. Besides, they are about as edible as the tough, dry bark in a long dead tree.

What is being compared in these sentences?
A) death and a tree
B) the island and the city
C) the speaker and the rations
D) the freeze dried rations and the bark of a tree

Hi,

I believe the answer is D, 'the freeze-dried rations and the bark of a tree.'
