The correct answer is symbol.
To determine the correct answer, we can break down the question and analyze the given options.
The question asks what the American is doing when they salute the flag, and the options provided are "symbol," "metaphor," and "inference."
1. Symbol: A symbol is something that represents or stands for something else. Saluting the flag is commonly understood to be a symbolic gesture of respect and allegiance towards one's country. Thus, this option seems plausible.
2. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech that compares two unrelated things. It does not seem appropriate to describe saluting the flag as a metaphor since there is no comparison being made.
3. Inference: An inference is a conclusion reached based on evidence or reasoning. Saluting the flag is not an inference itself but could be seen as an action that may lead others to make inferences about the person's love for their country.
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is (1 point) "symbol," as saluting the flag is a symbolic gesture.
