In malcolm x’s essay, he compares the dictionary to an encyclopedia by using what type of figurative language?

a) alliteration
b) metaphor
c) simile

A) Alliteration

Explanation:

Malcolm  got himself a dictionary  and started meticulously replicating each passage. It took him daily to do the principal page. He would duplicate it full scale and after that read back so anyone might hear what he had composed. He started to recall the words and what they implied. He was intrigued with the information that he was picking up. He completed the An's and went on to the B's. Over some stretch of time, he completed the process of duplicating out the entire lexicon. Malcolm viewed the dictionary  as a miniature encyclopedia. He learned about people and animals, about places and history, philosophy and science.

answer d

explanation:

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.
