Answer 1

Could you maybe clarify what the question is? I'd be happy to help if you did so.

Answer 2

what type of analogy is ravage:locusts. types of analogies-synonym,antonym,part and whole,characteristic quality, classification, cause and effect, function,location, degree,performer and related object, performer and related action, action and related object.
out of the answer choices which one has the same type of analogy

Answer 3

I still don't entirely understand what you're asking, but I'd say it's A.
If one were to use "Ravage" and "Locusts" as an analogy, it would be used in the context of something being used to the point of extinction, or wiped out due to over-usage. Locusts are bugs that are known to blight everything they come in contact with when traveling in swarms.

B would suggest more life and is contrary to the concept of locusts, as pollination suggests the reproduction of plants with aid of the bees.

C doesn't suggest anything that reflects depletion or extinction and is rather arbitrary if you ask me.

D suggests fatigue or exhaustion but not necessarily over-usage or disappearance.

E would be right if the analogy suggested the cow was being milked more than normal But since it doesn't, this analogy doesn't match with a swarm of locusts.

So, I'd say A because if one were to "pluck the feathers of" of bird, it would leave it bare and bald - as the land would be if it were to be attacked by a swarm of locusts.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

i don't know how else to state the question...
what kind of analogy do you think range to locusts is.

Answer 5

Well "ravage" is a verb and "locusts" is a noun so they cannot be analogies of each other. As I said above, choice A reflects the original analogy the best.
