Central Ideas and Context: Utopia

Question 7 • Common Core ELA 12 A-IC

Which line from Utopia is an example of an analogy?

Answer
A
They supply or are supplied from one another, so that indeed the whole island is, as it were, one family.
B
They eat and drink out of vessels of earth or glass, which make an agreeable appearance, though formed of brittle materials . . .
C
They polish them, and with them they adorn their children, who are delighted with them . . .
D
They wonder much to hear that gold, which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed . . .

Explanation

An analogy compares two things to explain a similarity. In choice A, the people of the island supply one another, and their community is compared to “one family.” The phrase “as it were” signals that this is a figurative comparison, not a literal family relationship.
