The sentence "If you're living with an angry beast, you shouldn't poke it with a sharp stick," he said. contains an analogy.
An analogy is a comparison between two things that are similar in some way. To identify if any of the sentences contain an analogy, we need to look for a comparison between two different things. Let's examine each sentence:
1. "If you're living with an angry beast, you shouldn't poke it with a sharp stick," he said.
This sentence does not contain an analogy. It is a statement advising against provoking an angry beast, but there is no direct comparison between two different things.
2. "While scientists understand how climate change works, some of its effects are still difficult to predict."
This sentence does not contain an analogy. It states that while scientists understand climate change, there are still unpredictable effects. There is no comparison between two different things.
3. "Some scientists expect an increase in so-called 'extreme weather' events, such as hurricanes and floods."
This sentence contains an analogy. The analogy is the comparison between "extreme weather events" and specific examples of such events, like hurricanes and floods. The sentence is comparing the general category of extreme weather events to specific examples of them.
Therefore, the third sentence "Some scientists expect an increase in so-called 'extreme weather' events, such as hurricanes and floods." contains an analogy.
