Question

Read the sentences: "When Benny told me that our boss was exploiting us, I hoped it wasn't true. But if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck." Which option tells the main effect of the analogy in the sentences?

a) The reader knows that Benny is looking for another job.
b) The reader knows that the boss runs a busy farm.
c) The reader knows that the boss is taking advantage of his employees.
d) The reader knows that Benny is a good friend.

Answer 1

The main effect of the analogy in the sentences is that the reader knows that the boss is taking advantage of his employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main effect of the analogy in the sentences is that the reader knows that the boss is taking advantage of his employees.

The analogy used here is 'if it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, then it's probably a duck.' This analogy suggests that the behavior of the boss resembles the exploitative nature of a duck, indicating that the boss is taking advantage of the employees.

Therefore, option c) 'The reader knows that the boss is taking advantage of his employees' is the correct main effect of the analogy in the sentences.
