Analyzing an Analogy in an Editorial
Which statement from the editorial is an analogy?
People should consider the impact of drones before
buying (and flying) one. Think about where you will fly
your drone. There's a difference between flying in close,
tight civilization and the wide-open, vast wilderness.
Also, some communities have laws regulating drone use.
For example, Florida law requires recreational drones to
be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA). Safety should always be of the utmost concern.
Flying away from power lines and keeping a respectable
distance from people and wildlife will ensure that no one
(or no animal) is harmed should the drone operator
mistakenly send it in the wrong direction. Drones of the
twenty-first century are the Red Ryders of the 1940s. As
this device becomes more popular and common, people
should take care to be responsible drone operators.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
