Question 5
Read the paragraph. Then answer the question that follows.

Perhaps you wanted pizza for dinner, but were out voted by the rest of the family who wanted chili. This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group. Sometimes citizens' duties and rights conflict with each other. A good example is a public protest. People have the right to meet in groups and share ideas. However, a protest can disrupt traffic or other normal activities. A city must provide extra police protection to keep people safe. Therefore, the city has the right to require permission in advance for a protest. Government must make laws to balance the rights of individuals and different groups of people. What type of connection is used in the paragraph?

Analogy

In writing, an analogy occurs when writers use the characteristics of an object, idea, situation and apply this to another to explain the second idea or make a point by creating a comparison. This differs from simile because in this, the comparison is simple and it is established by words such as "like" or "as".

In the excerpt presented the connection used is an analogy because through the use of "This is similar to what happens in a community. One person has to give up a right for the good of the group" and other details in the text, the author applies the process of taking decisions in a family to the decision in a community, which means there is a comparison and this is used to explain the complexity of communities.
