Answer 1

Threatens to eliminate more sophisticated language.

Explanation:

Metaphors are the figures of speech in which a word or a phrase is applied to an object or to an action which to which it is not literally applicable. A comparison is done with the use of metaphor in which there is direct comparison of one thing with the other.

Answer 2

In lines 26-27 ("Displaces ...  nest"), the metaphor of "endangered hatchlings" suggests that "Like":

Threatens to eliminate more sophisticated language.

• This question refers to the poem "Sestina: Like" by A. E. Stallings.

• The poem is a criticism to the excessive use of the word "like".

• The speaker ends each line with "like", showing how often and unnecessarily it is employed, especially in daily conversations.

• The author uses a metaphor in lines 26 and 27:

"Displaces other words: crowds, cuckoo-like,

Endangered hatchlings from the nest. (Click "like"

..."

• What the author means is that the use of "like" makes the language poorer.

• Other words become endangered, so to speak, since they are now rarely used. Instead, they are constantly replaced with "like".

• The metaphor compares endangered hatchlings to those sophisticated words that are no longer used.
