Respuesta :

Answer:

d. broken jaw

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of language that consists in the use of a word or expression with the sense of another with which it is possible to establish a relation of similarity.

In "The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot, the metaphor compares the valley of hollow men with a broken jaw, to convey a sense of discomfort to the reader, and to show that the valley of hollow men is not a pleasant place.

The part of the poem where this comparison happens is:

"The eyes are not here

Here the eyes do not shine

In this valley of tibial stars

In this helpless valley

This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms."
